I charge thee, speak! - - -Exit Ghost - - -MARCELLUS -'Tis gone, and will not answer. - - - -BERNARDO -How now, Horatio! you tremble and look pale: -Is not this something more than fantasy? -What think you on't? - - - -HORATIO -Before my God, I might not this believe -Without the sensible and true avouch -Of mine own eyes. - - - -MARCELLUS -Is it not like the king? - - - -HORATIO -As thou art to thyself: -Such was the very armour he had on -When he the ambitious Norway combated; -So frown'd he once, when, in an angry parle, -He smote the sledded Polacks on the ice. -'Tis strange. - - - -MARCELLUS -Thus twice before, and jump at this dead hour, -With martial stalk hath he gone by our watch. - - - -HORATIO -In what particular thought to work I know not; -But in the gross and scope of my opinion, -This bodes some strange eruption to our state. - - - -MARCELLUS -Good now, sit down, and tell me, he that knows, -Why this same strict and most observant watch -So nightly toils the subject of the land, -And why such daily cast of brazen cannon, -And foreign mart for implements of war; -Why such impress of shipwrights, whose sore task -Does not divide the Sunday from the week; -What might be toward, that this sweaty haste -Doth make the night joint-labourer with the day: -Who is't that can inform me? - - - -HORATIO -That can I; -At least, the whisper goes so. Our last king, -Whose image even but now appear'd to us, -Was, as you know, by Fortinbras of Norway, -Thereto prick'd on by a most emulate pride, -Dared to the combat; in which our valiant Hamlet-- -For so this side of our known world esteem'd him-- -Did slay this Fortinbras; who by a seal'd compact, -Well ratified by law and heraldry, -Did forfeit, with his life, all those his lands -Which he stood seized of, to the conqueror: -Against the which, a moiety competent -Was gaged by our king; which had return'd -To the inheritance of Fortinbras, -Had he been vanquisher; as, by the same covenant, -And carriage of the article design'd, -His fell to Hamlet. Now, sir, young Fortinbras, -Of unimproved mettle hot and full, -Hath in the skirts of Norway here and there -Shark'd up a list of lawless resolutes, -For food and diet, to some enterprise -That hath a stomach in't; which is no other-- -As it doth well appear unto our state-- -But to recover of us, by strong hand -And terms compulsatory, those foresaid lands -So by his father lost: and this, I take it, -Is the main motive of our preparations, -The source of this our watch and the chief head -Of this post-haste and romage in the land. - - - -BERNARDO -I think it be no other but e'en so: -Well may it sort that this portentous figure -Comes armed through our watch; so like the king -That was and is the question of these wars. - - - -HORATIO -A mote it is to trouble the mind's eye. -In the most high and palmy state of Rome, -A little ere the mightiest Julius fell, -The graves stood tenantless and the sheeted dead -Did squeak and gibber in the Roman streets: -As stars with trains of fire and dews of blood, -Disasters in the sun; and the moist star -Upon whose influence Neptune's empire stands -Was sick almost to doomsday with eclipse: -And even the like precurse of fierce events, -As harbingers preceding still the fates -And prologue to the omen coming on, -Have heaven and earth together demonstrated -Unto our climatures and countrymen.-- -But soft, behold! lo, where it comes again! -Re-enter Ghost -I'll cross it, though it blast me. Stay, illusion! -If thou hast any sound, or use of voice, -Speak to me: -If there be any good thing to be done, -That may to thee do ease and grace to me, -Speak to me: -Cock crows -If thou art privy to thy country's fate, -Which, happily, foreknowing may avoid, O, speak! -Or if thou hast uphoarded in thy life -Extorted treasure in the womb of earth, -For which, they say, you spirits oft walk in death, -Speak of it: stay, and speak! Stop it, Marcellus. - - - -MARCELLUS -Shall I strike at it with my partisan? - - - -HORATIO -Do, if it will not stand. - - - -BERNARDO -'Tis here! - - - -HORATIO -'Tis here! - - - -MARCELLUS -'Tis gone! -Exit Ghost -We do it wrong, being so majestical, -To offer it the show of violence; -For it is, as the air, invulnerable, -And our vain blows malicious mockery. - - - -BERNARDO -It was about to speak, when the cock crew. - - - -HORATIO -And then it started like a guilty thing -Upon a fearful summons. I have heard, -The cock, that is the trumpet to the morn, -Doth with his lofty and shrill-sounding throat -Awake the god of day; and, at his warning, -Whether in sea or fire, in earth or air, -The extravagant and erring spirit hies -To his confine: and of the truth herein -This present object made probation. - - - -MARCELLUS -It faded on the crowing of the cock. -Some say that ever 'gainst that season comes -Wherein our Saviour's birth is celebrated, -The bird of dawning singeth all night long: -And then, they say, no spirit dares stir abroad; -The nights are wholesome; then no planets strike, -No fairy takes, nor witch hath power to charm, -So hallow'd and so gracious is the time. - - - -HORATIO -So have I heard and do in part believe it. -But, look, the morn, in russet mantle clad, -Walks o'er the dew of yon high eastward hill: -Break we our watch up; and by my advice, -Let us impart what we have seen to-night -Unto young Hamlet; for, upon my life, -This spirit, dumb to us, will speak to him. -Do you consent we shall acquaint him with it, -As needful in our loves, fitting our duty? - - - -MARCELLUS -Let's do't, I pray; and I this morning know -Where we shall find him most conveniently. - - -Exeunt - - -SCENE II. A room of state in the castle. -Enter KING CLAUDIUS, QUEEN GERTRUDE, HAMLET, -POLONIUS, LAERTES, VOLTIMAND, CORNELIUS, Lords, -and Attendants - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Though yet of Hamlet our dear brother's death -The memory be green, and that it us befitted -To bear our hearts in grief and our whole kingdom -To be contracted in one brow of woe, -Yet so far hath discretion fought with nature -That we with wisest sorrow think on him, -Together with remembrance of ourselves. -Therefore our sometime sister, now our queen, -The imperial jointress to this warlike state, -Have we, as 'twere with a defeated joy,-- -With an auspicious and a dropping eye, -With mirth in funeral and with dirge in marriage, -In equal scale weighing delight and dole,-- -Taken to wife: nor have we herein barr'd -Your better wisdoms, which have freely gone -With this affair along. For all, our thanks. -Now follows, that you know, young Fortinbras, -Holding a weak supposal of our worth, -Or thinking by our late dear brother's death -Our state to be disjoint and out of frame, -Colleagued with the dream of his advantage, -He hath not fail'd to pester us with message, -Importing the surrender of those lands -Lost by his father, with all bonds of law, -To our most valiant brother. So much for him. -Now for ourself and for this time of meeting: -Thus much the business is: we have here writ -To Norway, uncle of young Fortinbras,-- -Who, impotent and bed-rid, scarcely hears -Of this his nephew's purpose,--to suppress -His further gait herein; in that the levies, -The lists and full proportions, are all made -Out of his subject: and we here dispatch -You, good Cornelius, and you, Voltimand, -For bearers of this greeting to old Norway; -Giving to you no further personal power -To business with the king, more than the scope -Of these delated articles allow. -Farewell, and let your haste commend your duty. - - - -CORNELIUS -VOLTIMAND -In that and all things will we show our duty. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -We doubt it nothing: heartily farewell. -Exeunt VOLTIMAND and CORNELIUS -And now, Laertes, what's the news with you? -You told us of some suit; what is't, Laertes? -You cannot speak of reason to the Dane, -And loose your voice: what wouldst thou beg, Laertes, -That shall not be my offer, not thy asking? -The head is not more native to the heart, -The hand more instrumental to the mouth, -Than is the throne of Denmark to thy father. -What wouldst thou have, Laertes? - - - -LAERTES -My dread lord, -Your leave and favour to return to France; -From whence though willingly I came to Denmark, -To show my duty in your coronation, -Yet now, I must confess, that duty done, -My thoughts and wishes bend again toward France -And bow them to your gracious leave and pardon. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Have you your father's leave? What says Polonius? - - - -LORD POLONIUS -He hath, my lord, wrung from me my slow leave -By laboursome petition, and at last -Upon his will I seal'd my hard consent: -I do beseech you, give him leave to go. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Take thy fair hour, Laertes; time be thine, -And thy best graces spend it at thy will! -But now, my cousin Hamlet, and my son,-- - - - -HAMLET -Aside A little more than kin, and less than kind. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -How is it that the clouds still hang on you? - - - -HAMLET -Not so, my lord; I am too much i' the sun. - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -Good Hamlet, cast thy nighted colour off, -And let thine eye look like a friend on Denmark. -Do not for ever with thy vailed lids -Seek for thy noble father in the dust: -Thou know'st 'tis common; all that lives must die, -Passing through nature to eternity. - - - -HAMLET -Ay, madam, it is common. - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -If it be, -Why seems it so particular with thee? - - - -HAMLET -Seems, madam! nay it is; I know not 'seems.' -'Tis not alone my inky cloak, good mother, -Nor customary suits of solemn black, -Nor windy suspiration of forced breath, -No, nor the fruitful river in the eye, -Nor the dejected 'havior of the visage, -Together with all forms, moods, shapes of grief, -That can denote me truly: these indeed seem, -For they are actions that a man might play: -But I have that within which passeth show; -These but the trappings and the suits of woe. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -'Tis sweet and commendable in your nature, Hamlet, -To give these mourning duties to your father: -But, you must know, your father lost a father; -That father lost, lost his, and the survivor bound -In filial obligation for some term -To do obsequious sorrow: but to persever -In obstinate condolement is a course -Of impious stubbornness; 'tis unmanly grief; -It shows a will most incorrect to heaven, -A heart unfortified, a mind impatient, -An understanding simple and unschool'd: -For what we know must be and is as common -As any the most vulgar thing to sense, -Why should we in our peevish opposition -Take it to heart? Fie! 'tis a fault to heaven, -A fault against the dead, a fault to nature, -To reason most absurd: whose common theme -Is death of fathers, and who still hath cried, -From the first corse till he that died to-day, -'This must be so.' We pray you, throw to earth -This unprevailing woe, and think of us -As of a father: for let the world take note, -You are the most immediate to our throne; -And with no less nobility of love -Than that which dearest father bears his son, -Do I impart toward you. For your intent -In going back to school in Wittenberg, -It is most retrograde to our desire: -And we beseech you, bend you to remain -Here, in the cheer and comfort of our eye, -Our chiefest courtier, cousin, and our son. - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -Let not thy mother lose her prayers, Hamlet: -I pray thee, stay with us; go not to Wittenberg. - - - -HAMLET -I shall in all my best obey you, madam. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Why, 'tis a loving and a fair reply: -Be as ourself in Denmark. Madam, come; -This gentle and unforced accord of Hamlet -Sits smiling to my heart: in grace whereof, -No jocund health that Denmark drinks to-day, -But the great cannon to the clouds shall tell, -And the king's rouse the heavens all bruit again, -Re-speaking earthly thunder. Come away. - - -Exeunt all but HAMLET - - -HAMLET -O, that this too too solid flesh would melt -Thaw and resolve itself into a dew! -Or that the Everlasting had not fix'd -His canon 'gainst self-slaughter! O God! God! -How weary, stale, flat and unprofitable, -Seem to me all the uses of this world! -Fie on't! ah fie! 'tis an unweeded garden, -That grows to seed; things rank and gross in nature -Possess it merely. That it should come to this! -But two months dead: nay, not so much, not two: -So excellent a king; that was, to this, -Hyperion to a satyr; so loving to my mother -That he might not beteem the winds of heaven -Visit her face too roughly. Heaven and earth! -Must I remember? why, she would hang on him, -As if increase of appetite had grown -By what it fed on: and yet, within a month-- -Let me not think on't--Frailty, thy name is woman!-- -A little month, or ere those shoes were old -With which she follow'd my poor father's body, -Like Niobe, all tears:--why she, even she-- -O, God! a beast, that wants discourse of reason, -Would have mourn'd longer--married with my uncle, -My father's brother, but no more like my father -Than I to Hercules: within a month: -Ere yet the salt of most unrighteous tears -Had left the flushing in her galled eyes, -She married. O, most wicked speed, to post -With such dexterity to incestuous sheets! -It is not nor it cannot come to good: -But break, my heart; for I must hold my tongue. - - -Enter HORATIO, MARCELLUS, and BERNARDO - - -HORATIO -Hail to your lordship! - - - -HAMLET -I am glad to see you well: -Horatio,--or I do forget myself. - - - -HORATIO -The same, my lord, and your poor servant ever. - - - -HAMLET -Sir, my good friend; I'll change that name with you: -And what make you from Wittenberg, Horatio? Marcellus? - - - -MARCELLUS -My good lord-- - - - -HAMLET -I am very glad to see you. Good even, sir. -But what, in faith, make you from Wittenberg? - - - -HORATIO -A truant disposition, good my lord. - - - -HAMLET -I would not hear your enemy say so, -Nor shall you do mine ear that violence, -To make it truster of your own report -Against yourself: I know you are no truant. -But what is your affair in Elsinore? -We'll teach you to drink deep ere you depart. - - - -HORATIO -My lord, I came to see your father's funeral. - - - -HAMLET -I pray thee, do not mock me, fellow-student; -I think it was to see my mother's wedding. - - - -HORATIO -Indeed, my lord, it follow'd hard upon. - - - -HAMLET -Thrift, thrift, Horatio! the funeral baked meats -Did coldly furnish forth the marriage tables. -Would I had met my dearest foe in heaven -Or ever I had seen that day, Horatio! -My father!--methinks I see my father. - - - -HORATIO -Where, my lord? - - - -HAMLET -In my mind's eye, Horatio. - - - -HORATIO -I saw him once; he was a goodly king. - - - -HAMLET -He was a man, take him for all in all, -I shall not look upon his like again. - - - -HORATIO -My lord, I think I saw him yesternight. - - - -HAMLET -Saw? who? - - - -HORATIO -My lord, the king your father. - - - -HAMLET -The king my father! - - - -HORATIO -Season your admiration for awhile -With an attent ear, till I may deliver, -Upon the witness of these gentlemen, -This marvel to you. - - - -HAMLET -For God's love, let me hear. - - - -HORATIO -Two nights together had these gentlemen, -Marcellus and Bernardo, on their watch, -In the dead vast and middle of the night, -Been thus encounter'd. A figure like your father, -Armed at point exactly, cap-a-pe, -Appears before them, and with solemn march -Goes slow and stately by them: thrice he walk'd -By their oppress'd and fear-surprised eyes, -Within his truncheon's length; whilst they, distilled -Almost to jelly with the act of fear, -Stand dumb and speak not to him. This to me -In dreadful secrecy impart they did; -And I with them the third night kept the watch; -Where, as they had deliver'd, both in time, -Form of the thing, each word made true and good, -The apparition comes: I knew your father; -These hands are not more like. - - - -HAMLET -But where was this? - - - -MARCELLUS -My lord, upon the platform where we watch'd. - - - -HAMLET -Did you not speak to it? - - - -HORATIO -My lord, I did; -But answer made it none: yet once methought -It lifted up its head and did address -Itself to motion, like as it would speak; -But even then the morning cock crew loud, -And at the sound it shrunk in haste away, -And vanish'd from our sight. - - - -HAMLET -'Tis very strange. - - - -HORATIO -As I do live, my honour'd lord, 'tis true; -And we did think it writ down in our duty -To let you know of it. - - - -HAMLET -Indeed, indeed, sirs, but this troubles me. -Hold you the watch to-night? - - - -MARCELLUS -BERNARDO -We do, my lord. - - - -HAMLET -Arm'd, say you? - - - -MARCELLUS -BERNARDO -Arm'd, my lord. - - - -HAMLET -From top to toe? - - - -MARCELLUS -BERNARDO -My lord, from head to foot. - - - -HAMLET -Then saw you not his face? - - - -HORATIO -O, yes, my lord; he wore his beaver up. - - - -HAMLET -What, look'd he frowningly? - - - -HORATIO -A countenance more in sorrow than in anger. - - - -HAMLET -Pale or red? - - - -HORATIO -Nay, very pale. - - - -HAMLET -And fix'd his eyes upon you? - - - -HORATIO -Most constantly. - - - -HAMLET -I would I had been there. - - - -HORATIO -It would have much amazed you. - - - -HAMLET -Very like, very like. Stay'd it long? - - - -HORATIO -While one with moderate haste might tell a hundred. - - - -MARCELLUS -BERNARDO -Longer, longer. - - - -HORATIO -Not when I saw't. - - - -HAMLET -His beard was grizzled--no? - - - -HORATIO -It was, as I have seen it in his life, -A sable silver'd. - - - -HAMLET -I will watch to-night; -Perchance 'twill walk again. - - - -HORATIO -I warrant it will. - - - -HAMLET -If it assume my noble father's person, -I'll speak to it, though hell itself should gape -And bid me hold my peace. I pray you all, -If you have hitherto conceal'd this sight, -Let it be tenable in your silence still; -And whatsoever else shall hap to-night, -Give it an understanding, but no tongue: -I will requite your loves. So, fare you well: -Upon the platform, 'twixt eleven and twelve, -I'll visit you. - - - -All -Our duty to your honour. - - - -HAMLET -Your loves, as mine to you: farewell. -Exeunt all but HAMLET -My father's spirit in arms! all is not well; -I doubt some foul play: would the night were come! -Till then sit still, my soul: foul deeds will rise, -Though all the earth o'erwhelm them, to men's eyes. - - -Exit - - -SCENE III. A room in Polonius' house. -Enter LAERTES and OPHELIA - - -LAERTES -My necessaries are embark'd: farewell: -And, sister, as the winds give benefit -And convoy is assistant, do not sleep, -But let me hear from you. - - - -OPHELIA -Do you doubt that? - - - -LAERTES -For Hamlet and the trifling of his favour, -Hold it a fashion and a toy in blood, -A violet in the youth of primy nature, -Forward, not permanent, sweet, not lasting, -The perfume and suppliance of a minute; No more. - - - -OPHELIA -No more but so? - - - -LAERTES -Think it no more; -For nature, crescent, does not grow alone -In thews and bulk, but, as this temple waxes, -The inward service of the mind and soul -Grows wide withal. Perhaps he loves you now, -And now no soil nor cautel doth besmirch -The virtue of his will: but you must fear, -His greatness weigh'd, his will is not his own; -For he himself is subject to his birth: -He may not, as unvalued persons do, -Carve for himself; for on his choice depends -The safety and health of this whole state; -And therefore must his choice be circumscribed -Unto the voice and yielding of that body -Whereof he is the head. Then if he says he loves you, -It fits your wisdom so far to believe it -As he in his particular act and place -May give his saying deed; which is no further -Than the main voice of Denmark goes withal. -Then weigh what loss your honour may sustain, -If with too credent ear you list his songs, -Or lose your heart, or your chaste treasure open -To his unmaster'd importunity. -Fear it, Ophelia, fear it, my dear sister, -And keep you in the rear of your affection, -Out of the shot and danger of desire. -The chariest maid is prodigal enough, -If she unmask her beauty to the moon: -Virtue itself 'scapes not calumnious strokes: -The canker galls the infants of the spring, -Too oft before their buttons be disclosed, -And in the morn and liquid dew of youth -Contagious blastments are most imminent. -Be wary then; best safety lies in fear: -Youth to itself rebels, though none else near. - - - -OPHELIA -I shall the effect of this good lesson keep, -As watchman to my heart. But, good my brother, -Do not, as some ungracious pastors do, -Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven; -Whiles, like a puff'd and reckless libertine, -Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads, -And recks not his own rede. - - - -LAERTES -O, fear me not. -I stay too long: but here my father comes. -Enter POLONIUS -A double blessing is a double grace, -Occasion smiles upon a second leave. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -Yet here, Laertes! aboard, aboard, for shame! -The wind sits in the shoulder of your sail, -And you are stay'd for. There; my blessing with thee! -And these few precepts in thy memory -See thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue, -Nor any unproportioned thought his act. -Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar. -Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, -Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel; -But do not dull thy palm with entertainment -Of each new-hatch'd, unfledged comrade. Beware -Of entrance to a quarrel, but being in, -Bear't that the opposed may beware of thee. -Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice; -Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment. -Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, -But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy; -For the apparel oft proclaims the man, -And they in France of the best rank and station -Are of a most select and generous chief in that. -Neither a borrower nor a lender be; -For loan oft loses both itself and friend, -And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. -This above all: to thine ownself be true, -And it must follow, as the night the day, -Thou canst not then be false to any man. -Farewell: my blessing season this in thee! - - - -LAERTES -Most humbly do I take my leave, my lord. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -The time invites you; go; your servants tend. - - - -LAERTES -Farewell, Ophelia; and remember well -What I have said to you. - - - -OPHELIA -'Tis in my memory lock'd, -And you yourself shall keep the key of it. - - - -LAERTES -Farewell. - - -Exit - - -LORD POLONIUS -What is't, Ophelia, be hath said to you? - - - -OPHELIA -So please you, something touching the Lord Hamlet. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -Marry, well bethought: -'Tis told me, he hath very oft of late -Given private time to you; and you yourself -Have of your audience been most free and bounteous: -If it be so, as so 'tis put on me, -And that in way of caution, I must tell you, -You do not understand yourself so clearly -As it behoves my daughter and your honour. -What is between you? give me up the truth. - - - -OPHELIA -He hath, my lord, of late made many tenders -Of his affection to me. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -Affection! pooh! you speak like a green girl, -Unsifted in such perilous circumstance. -Do you believe his tenders, as you call them? - - - -OPHELIA -I do not know, my lord, what I should think. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -Marry, I'll teach you: think yourself a baby; -That you have ta'en these tenders for true pay, -Which are not sterling. Tender yourself more dearly; -Or--not to crack the wind of the poor phrase, -Running it thus--you'll tender me a fool. - - - -OPHELIA -My lord, he hath importuned me with love -In honourable fashion. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -Ay, fashion you may call it; go to, go to. - - - -OPHELIA -And hath given countenance to his speech, my lord, -With almost all the holy vows of heaven. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -Ay, springes to catch woodcocks. I do know, -When the blood burns, how prodigal the soul -Lends the tongue vows: these blazes, daughter, -Giving more light than heat, extinct in both, -Even in their promise, as it is a-making, -You must not take for fire. From this time -Be somewhat scanter of your maiden presence; -Set your entreatments at a higher rate -Than a command to parley. For Lord Hamlet, -Believe so much in him, that he is young -And with a larger tether may he walk -Than may be given you: in few, Ophelia, -Do not believe his vows; for they are brokers, -Not of that dye which their investments show, -But mere implorators of unholy suits, -Breathing like sanctified and pious bawds, -The better to beguile. This is for all: -I would not, in plain terms, from this time forth, -Have you so slander any moment leisure, -As to give words or talk with the Lord Hamlet. -Look to't, I charge you: come your ways. - - - -OPHELIA -I shall obey, my lord. - - -Exeunt - - -SCENE IV. The platform. -Enter HAMLET, HORATIO, and MARCELLUS - - -HAMLET -The air bites shrewdly; it is very cold. - - - -HORATIO -It is a nipping and an eager air. - - - -HAMLET -What hour now? - - - -HORATIO -I think it lacks of twelve. - - - -HAMLET -No, it is struck. - - - -HORATIO -Indeed? I heard it not: then it draws near the season -Wherein the spirit held his wont to walk. -A flourish of trumpets, and ordnance shot off, within -What does this mean, my lord? - - - -HAMLET -The king doth wake to-night and takes his rouse, -Keeps wassail, and the swaggering up-spring reels; -And, as he drains his draughts of Rhenish down, -The kettle-drum and trumpet thus bray out -The triumph of his pledge. - - - -HORATIO -Is it a custom? - - - -HAMLET -Ay, marry, is't: -But to my mind, though I am native here -And to the manner born, it is a custom -More honour'd in the breach than the observance. -This heavy-headed revel east and west -Makes us traduced and tax'd of other nations: -They clepe us drunkards, and with swinish phrase -Soil our addition; and indeed it takes -From our achievements, though perform'd at height, -The pith and marrow of our attribute. -So, oft it chances in particular men, -That for some vicious mole of nature in them, -As, in their birth--wherein they are not guilty, -Since nature cannot choose his origin-- -By the o'ergrowth of some complexion, -Oft breaking down the pales and forts of reason, -Or by some habit that too much o'er-leavens -The form of plausive manners, that these men, -Carrying, I say, the stamp of one defect, -Being nature's livery, or fortune's star,-- -Their virtues else--be they as pure as grace, -As infinite as man may undergo-- -Shall in the general censure take corruption -From that particular fault: the dram of eale -Doth all the noble substance of a doubt -To his own scandal. - - - -HORATIO -Look, my lord, it comes! - - -Enter Ghost - - -HAMLET -Angels and ministers of grace defend us! -Be thou a spirit of health or goblin damn'd, -Bring with thee airs from heaven or blasts from hell, -Be thy intents wicked or charitable, -Thou comest in such a questionable shape -That I will speak to thee: I'll call thee Hamlet, -King, father, royal Dane: O, answer me! -Let me not burst in ignorance; but tell -Why thy canonized bones, hearsed in death, -Have burst their cerements; why the sepulchre, -Wherein we saw thee quietly inurn'd, -Hath oped his ponderous and marble jaws, -To cast thee up again. What may this mean, -That thou, dead corse, again in complete steel -Revisit'st thus the glimpses of the moon, -Making night hideous; and we fools of nature -So horridly to shake our disposition -With thoughts beyond the reaches of our souls? -Say, why is this? wherefore? what should we do? - - -Ghost beckons HAMLET - - -HORATIO -It beckons you to go away with it, -As if it some impartment did desire -To you alone. - - - -MARCELLUS -Look, with what courteous action -It waves you to a more removed ground: -But do not go with it. - - - -HORATIO -No, by no means. - - - -HAMLET -It will not speak; then I will follow it. - - - -HORATIO -Do not, my lord. - - - -HAMLET -Why, what should be the fear? -I do not set my life in a pin's fee; -And for my soul, what can it do to that, -Being a thing immortal as itself? -It waves me forth again: I'll follow it. - - - -HORATIO -What if it tempt you toward the flood, my lord, -Or to the dreadful summit of the cliff -That beetles o'er his base into the sea, -And there assume some other horrible form, -Which might deprive your sovereignty of reason -And draw you into madness? think of it: -The very place puts toys of desperation, -Without more motive, into every brain -That looks so many fathoms to the sea -And hears it roar beneath. - - - -HAMLET -It waves me still. -Go on; I'll follow thee. - - - -MARCELLUS -You shall not go, my lord. - - - -HAMLET -Hold off your hands. - - - -HORATIO -Be ruled; you shall not go. - - - -HAMLET -My fate cries out, -And makes each petty artery in this body -As hardy as the Nemean lion's nerve. -Still am I call'd. Unhand me, gentlemen. -By heaven, I'll make a ghost of him that lets me! -I say, away! Go on; I'll follow thee. - - -Exeunt Ghost and HAMLET - - -HORATIO -He waxes desperate with imagination. - - - -MARCELLUS -Let's follow; 'tis not fit thus to obey him. - - - -HORATIO -Have after. To what issue will this come? - - - -MARCELLUS -Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. - - - -HORATIO -Heaven will direct it. - - - -MARCELLUS -Nay, let's follow him. - - -Exeunt - - -SCENE V. Another part of the platform. -Enter GHOST and HAMLET - - -HAMLET -Where wilt thou lead me? speak; I'll go no further. - - - -Ghost -Mark me. - - - -HAMLET -I will. - - - -Ghost -My hour is almost come, -When I to sulphurous and tormenting flames -Must render up myself. - - - -HAMLET -Alas, poor ghost! - - - -Ghost -Pity me not, but lend thy serious hearing -To what I shall unfold. - - - -HAMLET -Speak; I am bound to hear. - - - -Ghost -So art thou to revenge, when thou shalt hear. - - - -HAMLET -What? - - - -Ghost -I am thy father's spirit, -Doom'd for a certain term to walk the night, -And for the day confined to fast in fires, -Till the foul crimes done in my days of nature -Are burnt and purged away. But that I am forbid -To tell the secrets of my prison-house, -I could a tale unfold whose lightest word -Would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood, -Make thy two eyes, like stars, start from their spheres, -Thy knotted and combined locks to part -And each particular hair to stand on end, -Like quills upon the fretful porpentine: -But this eternal blazon must not be -To ears of flesh and blood. List, list, O, list! -If thou didst ever thy dear father love-- - - - -HAMLET -O God! - - - -Ghost -Revenge his foul and most unnatural murder. - - - -HAMLET -Murder! - - - -Ghost -Murder most foul, as in the best it is; -But this most foul, strange and unnatural. - - - -HAMLET -Haste me to know't, that I, with wings as swift -As meditation or the thoughts of love, -May sweep to my revenge. - - - -Ghost -I find thee apt; -And duller shouldst thou be than the fat weed -That roots itself in ease on Lethe wharf, -Wouldst thou not stir in this. Now, Hamlet, hear: -'Tis given out that, sleeping in my orchard, -A serpent stung me; so the whole ear of Denmark -Is by a forged process of my death -Rankly abused: but know, thou noble youth, -The serpent that did sting thy father's life -Now wears his crown. - - - -HAMLET -O my prophetic soul! My uncle! - - - -Ghost -Ay, that incestuous, that adulterate beast, -With witchcraft of his wit, with traitorous gifts,-- -O wicked wit and gifts, that have the power -So to seduce!--won to his shameful lust -The will of my most seeming-virtuous queen: -O Hamlet, what a falling-off was there! -From me, whose love was of that dignity -That it went hand in hand even with the vow -I made to her in marriage, and to decline -Upon a wretch whose natural gifts were poor -To those of mine! -But virtue, as it never will be moved, -Though lewdness court it in a shape of heaven, -So lust, though to a radiant angel link'd, -Will sate itself in a celestial bed, -And prey on garbage. -But, soft! methinks I scent the morning air; -Brief let me be. Sleeping within my orchard, -My custom always of the afternoon, -Upon my secure hour thy uncle stole, -With juice of cursed hebenon in a vial, -And in the porches of my ears did pour -The leperous distilment; whose effect -Holds such an enmity with blood of man -That swift as quicksilver it courses through -The natural gates and alleys of the body, -And with a sudden vigour doth posset -And curd, like eager droppings into milk, -The thin and wholesome blood: so did it mine; -And a most instant tetter bark'd about, -Most lazar-like, with vile and loathsome crust, -All my smooth body. -Thus was I, sleeping, by a brother's hand -Of life, of crown, of queen, at once dispatch'd: -Cut off even in the blossoms of my sin, -Unhousel'd, disappointed, unanel'd, -No reckoning made, but sent to my account -With all my imperfections on my head: -O, horrible! O, horrible! most horrible! -If thou hast nature in thee, bear it not; -Let not the royal bed of Denmark be -A couch for luxury and damned incest. -But, howsoever thou pursuest this act, -Taint not thy mind, nor let thy soul contrive -Against thy mother aught: leave her to heaven -And to those thorns that in her bosom lodge, -To prick and sting her. Fare thee well at once! -The glow-worm shows the matin to be near, -And 'gins to pale his uneffectual fire: -Adieu, adieu! Hamlet, remember me. - - -Exit - - -HAMLET -O all you host of heaven! O earth! what else? -And shall I couple hell? O, fie! Hold, hold, my heart; -And you, my sinews, grow not instant old, -But bear me stiffly up. Remember thee! -Ay, thou poor ghost, while memory holds a seat -In this distracted globe. Remember thee! -Yea, from the table of my memory -I'll wipe away all trivial fond records, -All saws of books, all forms, all pressures past, -That youth and observation copied there; -And thy commandment all alone shall live -Within the book and volume of my brain, -Unmix'd with baser matter: yes, by heaven! -O most pernicious woman! -O villain, villain, smiling, damned villain! -My tables,--meet it is I set it down, -That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain; -At least I'm sure it may be so in Denmark: -Writing -So, uncle, there you are. Now to my word; -It is 'Adieu, adieu! remember me.' -I have sworn 't. - - - -MARCELLUS -HORATIO -Within My lord, my lord,-- - - - -MARCELLUS -Within Lord Hamlet,-- - - - -HORATIO -Within Heaven secure him! - - - -HAMLET -So be it! - - - -HORATIO -Within Hillo, ho, ho, my lord! - - - -HAMLET -Hillo, ho, ho, boy! come, bird, come. - - -Enter HORATIO and MARCELLUS - - -MARCELLUS -How is't, my noble lord? - - - -HORATIO -What news, my lord? - - - -HAMLET -O, wonderful! - - - -HORATIO -Good my lord, tell it. - - - -HAMLET -No; you'll reveal it. - - - -HORATIO -Not I, my lord, by heaven. - - - -MARCELLUS -Nor I, my lord. - - - -HAMLET -How say you, then; would heart of man once think it? -But you'll be secret? - - - -HORATIO -MARCELLUS -Ay, by heaven, my lord. - - - -HAMLET -There's ne'er a villain dwelling in all Denmark -But he's an arrant knave. - - - -HORATIO -There needs no ghost, my lord, come from the grave -To tell us this. - - - -HAMLET -Why, right; you are i' the right; -And so, without more circumstance at all, -I hold it fit that we shake hands and part: -You, as your business and desire shall point you; -For every man has business and desire, -Such as it is; and for mine own poor part, -Look you, I'll go pray. - - - -HORATIO -These are but wild and whirling words, my lord. - - - -HAMLET -I'm sorry they offend you, heartily; -Yes, 'faith heartily. - - - -HORATIO -There's no offence, my lord. - - - -HAMLET -Yes, by Saint Patrick, but there is, Horatio, -And much offence too. Touching this vision here, -It is an honest ghost, that let me tell you: -For your desire to know what is between us, -O'ermaster 't as you may. And now, good friends, -As you are friends, scholars and soldiers, -Give me one poor request. - - - -HORATIO -What is't, my lord? we will. - - - -HAMLET -Never make known what you have seen to-night. - - - -HORATIO -MARCELLUS -My lord, we will not. - - - -HAMLET -Nay, but swear't. - - - -HORATIO -In faith, -My lord, not I. - - - -MARCELLUS -Nor I, my lord, in faith. - - - -HAMLET -Upon my sword. - - - -MARCELLUS -We have sworn, my lord, already. - - - -HAMLET -Indeed, upon my sword, indeed. - - - -Ghost -Beneath Swear. - - - -HAMLET -Ah, ha, boy! say'st thou so? art thou there, -truepenny? -Come on--you hear this fellow in the cellarage-- -Consent to swear. - - - -HORATIO -Propose the oath, my lord. - - - -HAMLET -Never to speak of this that you have seen, -Swear by my sword. - - - -Ghost -Beneath Swear. - - - -HAMLET -Hic et ubique? then we'll shift our ground. -Come hither, gentlemen, -And lay your hands again upon my sword: -Never to speak of this that you have heard, -Swear by my sword. - - - -Ghost -Beneath Swear. - - - -HAMLET -Well said, old mole! canst work i' the earth so fast? -A worthy pioner! Once more remove, good friends. - - - -HORATIO -O day and night, but this is wondrous strange! - - - -HAMLET -And therefore as a stranger give it welcome. -There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, -Than are dreamt of in your philosophy. But come; -Here, as before, never, so help you mercy, -How strange or odd soe'er I bear myself, -As I perchance hereafter shall think meet -To put an antic disposition on, -That you, at such times seeing me, never shall, -With arms encumber'd thus, or this headshake, -Or by pronouncing of some doubtful phrase, -As 'Well, well, we know,' or 'We could, an if we would,' -Or 'If we list to speak,' or 'There be, an if they might,' -Or such ambiguous giving out, to note -That you know aught of me: this not to do, -So grace and mercy at your most need help you, Swear. - - - -Ghost -Beneath Swear. - - - -HAMLET -Rest, rest, perturbed spirit! -They swear -So, gentlemen, -With all my love I do commend me to you: -And what so poor a man as Hamlet is -May do, to express his love and friending to you, -God willing, shall not lack. Let us go in together; -And still your fingers on your lips, I pray. -The time is out of joint: O cursed spite, -That ever I was born to set it right! -Nay, come, let's go together. - - -Exeunt - - - - -ACT II - -SCENE I. A room in POLONIUS' house. -Enter POLONIUS and REYNALDO - - -LORD POLONIUS -Give him this money and these notes, Reynaldo. - - - -REYNALDO -I will, my lord. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -You shall do marvellous wisely, good Reynaldo, -Before you visit him, to make inquire -Of his behavior. - - - -REYNALDO -My lord, I did intend it. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -Marry, well said; very well said. Look you, sir, -Inquire me first what Danskers are in Paris; -And how, and who, what means, and where they keep, -What company, at what expense; and finding -By this encompassment and drift of question -That they do know my son, come you more nearer -Than your particular demands will touch it: -Take you, as 'twere, some distant knowledge of him; -As thus, 'I know his father and his friends, -And in part him: ' do you mark this, Reynaldo? - - - -REYNALDO -Ay, very well, my lord. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -'And in part him; but' you may say 'not well: -But, if't be he I mean, he's very wild; -Addicted so and so:' and there put on him -What forgeries you please; marry, none so rank -As may dishonour him; take heed of that; -But, sir, such wanton, wild and usual slips -As are companions noted and most known -To youth and liberty. - - - -REYNALDO -As gaming, my lord. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -Ay, or drinking, fencing, swearing, quarrelling, -Drabbing: you may go so far. - - - -REYNALDO -My lord, that would dishonour him. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -'Faith, no; as you may season it in the charge -You must not put another scandal on him, -That he is open to incontinency; -That's not my meaning: but breathe his faults so quaintly -That they may seem the taints of liberty, -The flash and outbreak of a fiery mind, -A savageness in unreclaimed blood, -Of general assault. - - - -REYNALDO -But, my good lord,-- - - - -LORD POLONIUS -Wherefore should you do this? - - - -REYNALDO -Ay, my lord, -I would know that. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -Marry, sir, here's my drift; -And I believe, it is a fetch of wit: -You laying these slight sullies on my son, -As 'twere a thing a little soil'd i' the working, Mark you, -Your party in converse, him you would sound, -Having ever seen in the prenominate crimes -The youth you breathe of guilty, be assured -He closes with you in this consequence; -'Good sir,' or so, or 'friend,' or 'gentleman,' -According to the phrase or the addition -Of man and country. - - - -REYNALDO -Very good, my lord. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -And then, sir, does he this--he does--what was I -about to say? By the mass, I was about to say -something: where did I leave? - - - -REYNALDO -At 'closes in the consequence,' at 'friend or so,' -and 'gentleman.' - - - -LORD POLONIUS -At 'closes in the consequence,' ay, marry; -He closes thus: 'I know the gentleman; -I saw him yesterday, or t' other day, -Or then, or then; with such, or such; and, as you say, -There was a' gaming; there o'ertook in's rouse; -There falling out at tennis:' or perchance, -'I saw him enter such a house of sale,' -Videlicet, a brothel, or so forth. -See you now; -Your bait of falsehood takes this carp of truth: -And thus do we of wisdom and of reach, -With windlasses and with assays of bias, -By indirections find directions out: -So by my former lecture and advice, -Shall you my son. You have me, have you not? - - - -REYNALDO -My lord, I have. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -God be wi' you; fare you well. - - - -REYNALDO -Good my lord! - - - -LORD POLONIUS -Observe his inclination in yourself. - - - -REYNALDO -I shall, my lord. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -And let him ply his music. - - - -REYNALDO -Well, my lord. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -Farewell! -Exit REYNALDO -Enter OPHELIA -How now, Ophelia! what's the matter? - - - -OPHELIA -O, my lord, my lord, I have been so affrighted! - - - -LORD POLONIUS -With what, i' the name of God? - - - -OPHELIA -My lord, as I was sewing in my closet, -Lord Hamlet, with his doublet all unbraced; -No hat upon his head; his stockings foul'd, -Ungarter'd, and down-gyved to his ancle; -Pale as his shirt; his knees knocking each other; -And with a look so piteous in purport -As if he had been loosed out of hell -To speak of horrors,--he comes before me. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -Mad for thy love? - - - -OPHELIA -My lord, I do not know; -But truly, I do fear it. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -What said he? - - - -OPHELIA -He took me by the wrist and held me hard; -Then goes he to the length of all his arm; -And, with his other hand thus o'er his brow, -He falls to such perusal of my face -As he would draw it. Long stay'd he so; -At last, a little shaking of mine arm -And thrice his head thus waving up and down, -He raised a sigh so piteous and profound -As it did seem to shatter all his bulk -And end his being: that done, he lets me go: -And, with his head over his shoulder turn'd, -He seem'd to find his way without his eyes; -For out o' doors he went without their helps, -And, to the last, bended their light on me. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -Come, go with me: I will go seek the king. -This is the very ecstasy of love, -Whose violent property fordoes itself -And leads the will to desperate undertakings -As oft as any passion under heaven -That does afflict our natures. I am sorry. -What, have you given him any hard words of late? - - - -OPHELIA -No, my good lord, but, as you did command, -I did repel his fetters and denied -His access to me. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -That hath made him mad. -I am sorry that with better heed and judgment -I had not quoted him: I fear'd he did but trifle, -And meant to wreck thee; but, beshrew my jealousy! -By heaven, it is as proper to our age -To cast beyond ourselves in our opinions -As it is common for the younger sort -To lack discretion. Come, go we to the king: -This must be known; which, being kept close, might -move -More grief to hide than hate to utter love. - - -Exeunt - - -SCENE II. A room in the castle. -Enter KING CLAUDIUS, QUEEN GERTRUDE, ROSENCRANTZ, -GUILDENSTERN, and Attendants - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Welcome, dear Rosencrantz and Guildenstern! -Moreover that we much did long to see you, -The need we have to use you did provoke -Our hasty sending. Something have you heard -Of Hamlet's transformation; so call it, -Sith nor the exterior nor the inward man -Resembles that it was. What it should be, -More than his father's death, that thus hath put him -So much from the understanding of himself, -I cannot dream of: I entreat you both, -That, being of so young days brought up with him, -And sith so neighbour'd to his youth and havior, -That you vouchsafe your rest here in our court -Some little time: so by your companies -To draw him on to pleasures, and to gather, -So much as from occasion you may glean, -Whether aught, to us unknown, afflicts him thus, -That, open'd, lies within our remedy. - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -Good gentlemen, he hath much talk'd of you; -And sure I am two men there are not living -To whom he more adheres. If it will please you -To show us so much gentry and good will -As to expend your time with us awhile, -For the supply and profit of our hope, -Your visitation shall receive such thanks -As fits a king's remembrance. - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -Both your majesties -Might, by the sovereign power you have of us, -Put your dread pleasures more into command -Than to entreaty. - - - -GUILDENSTERN -But we both obey, -And here give up ourselves, in the full bent -To lay our service freely at your feet, -To be commanded. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Thanks, Rosencrantz and gentle Guildenstern. - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -Thanks, Guildenstern and gentle Rosencrantz: -And I beseech you instantly to visit -My too much changed son. Go, some of you, -And bring these gentlemen where Hamlet is. - - - -GUILDENSTERN -Heavens make our presence and our practises -Pleasant and helpful to him! - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -Ay, amen! - - -Exeunt ROSENCRANTZ, GUILDENSTERN, and some -Attendants -Enter POLONIUS - - -LORD POLONIUS -The ambassadors from Norway, my good lord, -Are joyfully return'd. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Thou still hast been the father of good news. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -Have I, my lord? I assure my good liege, -I hold my duty, as I hold my soul, -Both to my God and to my gracious king: -And I do think, or else this brain of mine -Hunts not the trail of policy so sure -As it hath used to do, that I have found -The very cause of Hamlet's lunacy. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -O, speak of that; that do I long to hear. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -Give first admittance to the ambassadors; -My news shall be the fruit to that great feast. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Thyself do grace to them, and bring them in. -Exit POLONIUS -He tells me, my dear Gertrude, he hath found -The head and source of all your son's distemper. - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -I doubt it is no other but the main; -His father's death, and our o'erhasty marriage. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Well, we shall sift him. -Re-enter POLONIUS, with VOLTIMAND and CORNELIUS -Welcome, my good friends! -Say, Voltimand, what from our brother Norway? - - - -VOLTIMAND -Most fair return of greetings and desires. -Upon our first, he sent out to suppress -His nephew's levies; which to him appear'd -To be a preparation 'gainst the Polack; -But, better look'd into, he truly found -It was against your highness: whereat grieved, -That so his sickness, age and impotence -Was falsely borne in hand, sends out arrests -On Fortinbras; which he, in brief, obeys; -Receives rebuke from Norway, and in fine -Makes vow before his uncle never more -To give the assay of arms against your majesty. -Whereon old Norway, overcome with joy, -Gives him three thousand crowns in annual fee, -And his commission to employ those soldiers, -So levied as before, against the Polack: -With an entreaty, herein further shown, -Giving a paper -That it might please you to give quiet pass -Through your dominions for this enterprise, -On such regards of safety and allowance -As therein are set down. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -It likes us well; -And at our more consider'd time well read, -Answer, and think upon this business. -Meantime we thank you for your well-took labour: -Go to your rest; at night we'll feast together: -Most welcome home! - - -Exeunt VOLTIMAND and CORNELIUS - - -LORD POLONIUS -This business is well ended. -My liege, and madam, to expostulate -What majesty should be, what duty is, -Why day is day, night night, and time is time, -Were nothing but to waste night, day and time. -Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit, -And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes, -I will be brief: your noble son is mad: -Mad call I it; for, to define true madness, -What is't but to be nothing else but mad? -But let that go. - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -More matter, with less art. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -Madam, I swear I use no art at all. -That he is mad, 'tis true: 'tis true 'tis pity; -And pity 'tis 'tis true: a foolish figure; -But farewell it, for I will use no art. -Mad let us grant him, then: and now remains -That we find out the cause of this effect, -Or rather say, the cause of this defect, -For this effect defective comes by cause: -Thus it remains, and the remainder thus. Perpend. -I have a daughter--have while she is mine-- -Who, in her duty and obedience, mark, -Hath given me this: now gather, and surmise. -Reads -'To the celestial and my soul's idol, the most -beautified Ophelia,'-- -That's an ill phrase, a vile phrase; 'beautified' is -a vile phrase: but you shall hear. Thus: -Reads -'In her excellent white bosom, these, &c.' - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -Came this from Hamlet to her? - - - -LORD POLONIUS -Good madam, stay awhile; I will be faithful. -Reads -'Doubt thou the stars are fire; -Doubt that the sun doth move; -Doubt truth to be a liar; -But never doubt I love. -'O dear Ophelia, I am ill at these numbers; -I have not art to reckon my groans: but that -I love thee best, O most best, believe it. Adieu. -'Thine evermore most dear lady, whilst -this machine is to him, HAMLET.' -This, in obedience, hath my daughter shown me, -And more above, hath his solicitings, -As they fell out by time, by means and place, -All given to mine ear. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -But how hath she -Received his love? - - - -LORD POLONIUS -What do you think of me? - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -As of a man faithful and honourable. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -I would fain prove so. But what might you think, -When I had seen this hot love on the wing-- -As I perceived it, I must tell you that, -Before my daughter told me--what might you, -Or my dear majesty your queen here, think, -If I had play'd the desk or table-book, -Or given my heart a winking, mute and dumb, -Or look'd upon this love with idle sight; -What might you think? No, I went round to work, -And my young mistress thus I did bespeak: -'Lord Hamlet is a prince, out of thy star; -This must not be:' and then I precepts gave her, -That she should lock herself from his resort, -Admit no messengers, receive no tokens. -Which done, she took the fruits of my advice; -And he, repulsed--a short tale to make-- -Fell into a sadness, then into a fast, -Thence to a watch, thence into a weakness, -Thence to a lightness, and, by this declension, -Into the madness wherein now he raves, -And all we mourn for. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Do you think 'tis this? - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -It may be, very likely. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -Hath there been such a time--I'd fain know that-- -That I have positively said 'Tis so,' -When it proved otherwise? - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Not that I know. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -Pointing to his head and shoulder -Take this from this, if this be otherwise: -If circumstances lead me, I will find -Where truth is hid, though it were hid indeed -Within the centre. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -How may we try it further? - - - -LORD POLONIUS -You know, sometimes he walks four hours together -Here in the lobby. - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -So he does indeed. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -At such a time I'll loose my daughter to him: -Be you and I behind an arras then; -Mark the encounter: if he love her not -And be not from his reason fall'n thereon, -Let me be no assistant for a state, -But keep a farm and carters. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -We will try it. - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -But, look, where sadly the poor wretch comes reading. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -Away, I do beseech you, both away: -I'll board him presently. -Exeunt KING CLAUDIUS, QUEEN GERTRUDE, and -Attendants -Enter HAMLET, reading -O, give me leave: -How does my good Lord Hamlet? - - - -HAMLET -Well, God-a-mercy. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -Do you know me, my lord? - - - -HAMLET -Excellent well; you are a fishmonger. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -Not I, my lord. - - - -HAMLET -Then I would you were so honest a man. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -Honest, my lord! - - - -HAMLET -Ay, sir; to be honest, as this world goes, is to be -one man picked out of ten thousand. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -That's very true, my lord. - - - -HAMLET -For if the sun breed maggots in a dead dog, being a -god kissing carrion,--Have you a daughter? - - - -LORD POLONIUS -I have, my lord. - - - -HAMLET -Let her not walk i' the sun: conception is a -blessing: but not as your daughter may conceive. -Friend, look to 't. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -Aside How say you by that? Still harping on my -daughter: yet he knew me not at first; he said I -was a fishmonger: he is far gone, far gone: and -truly in my youth I suffered much extremity for -love; very near this. I'll speak to him again. -What do you read, my lord? - - - -HAMLET -Words, words, words. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -What is the matter, my lord? - - - -HAMLET -Between who? - - - -LORD POLONIUS -I mean, the matter that you read, my lord. - - - -HAMLET -Slanders, sir: for the satirical rogue says here -that old men have grey beards, that their faces are -wrinkled, their eyes purging thick amber and -plum-tree gum and that they have a plentiful lack of -wit, together with most weak hams: all which, sir, -though I most powerfully and potently believe, yet -I hold it not honesty to have it thus set down, for -yourself, sir, should be old as I am, if like a crab -you could go backward. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -Aside Though this be madness, yet there is method -in 't. Will you walk out of the air, my lord? - - - -HAMLET -Into my grave. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -Indeed, that is out o' the air. -Aside -How pregnant sometimes his replies are! a happiness -that often madness hits on, which reason and sanity -could not so prosperously be delivered of. I will -leave him, and suddenly contrive the means of -meeting between him and my daughter.--My honourable -lord, I will most humbly take my leave of you. - - - -HAMLET -You cannot, sir, take from me any thing that I will -more willingly part withal: except my life, except -my life, except my life. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -Fare you well, my lord. - - - -HAMLET -These tedious old fools! - - -Enter ROSENCRANTZ and GUILDENSTERN - - -LORD POLONIUS -You go to seek the Lord Hamlet; there he is. - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -To POLONIUS God save you, sir! - - -Exit POLONIUS - - -GUILDENSTERN -My honoured lord! - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -My most dear lord! - - - -HAMLET -My excellent good friends! How dost thou, -Guildenstern? Ah, Rosencrantz! Good lads, how do ye both? - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -As the indifferent children of the earth. - - - -GUILDENSTERN -Happy, in that we are not over-happy; -On fortune's cap we are not the very button. - - - -HAMLET -Nor the soles of her shoe? - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -Neither, my lord. - - - -HAMLET -Then you live about her waist, or in the middle of -her favours? - - - -GUILDENSTERN -'Faith, her privates we. - - - -HAMLET -In the secret parts of fortune? O, most true; she -is a strumpet. What's the news? - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -None, my lord, but that the world's grown honest. - - - -HAMLET -Then is doomsday near: but your news is not true. -Let me question more in particular: what have you, -my good friends, deserved at the hands of fortune, -that she sends you to prison hither? - - - -GUILDENSTERN -Prison, my lord! - - - -HAMLET -Denmark's a prison. - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -Then is the world one. - - - -HAMLET -A goodly one; in which there are many confines, -wards and dungeons, Denmark being one o' the worst. - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -We think not so, my lord. - - - -HAMLET -Why, then, 'tis none to you; for there is nothing -either good or bad, but thinking makes it so: to me -it is a prison. - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -Why then, your ambition makes it one; 'tis too -narrow for your mind. - - - -HAMLET -O God, I could be bounded in a nut shell and count -myself a king of infinite space, were it not that I -have bad dreams. - - - -GUILDENSTERN -Which dreams indeed are ambition, for the very -substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow of a dream. - - - -HAMLET -A dream itself is but a shadow. - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -Truly, and I hold ambition of so airy and light a -quality that it is but a shadow's shadow. - - - -HAMLET -Then are our beggars bodies, and our monarchs and -outstretched heroes the beggars' shadows. Shall we -to the court? for, by my fay, I cannot reason. - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -GUILDENSTERN -We'll wait upon you. - - - -HAMLET -No such matter: I will not sort you with the rest -of my servants, for, to speak to you like an honest -man, I am most dreadfully attended. But, in the -beaten way of friendship, what make you at Elsinore? - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -To visit you, my lord; no other occasion. - - - -HAMLET -Beggar that I am, I am even poor in thanks; but I -thank you: and sure, dear friends, my thanks are -too dear a halfpenny. Were you not sent for? Is it -your own inclining? Is it a free visitation? Come, -deal justly with me: come, come; nay, speak. - - - -GUILDENSTERN -What should we say, my lord? - - - -HAMLET -Why, any thing, but to the purpose. You were sent -for; and there is a kind of confession in your looks -which your modesties have not craft enough to colour: -I know the good king and queen have sent for you. - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -To what end, my lord? - - - -HAMLET -That you must teach me. But let me conjure you, by -the rights of our fellowship, by the consonancy of -our youth, by the obligation of our ever-preserved -love, and by what more dear a better proposer could -charge you withal, be even and direct with me, -whether you were sent for, or no? - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -Aside to GUILDENSTERN What say you? - - - -HAMLET -Aside Nay, then, I have an eye of you.--If you -love me, hold not off. - - - -GUILDENSTERN -My lord, we were sent for. - - - -HAMLET -I will tell you why; so shall my anticipation -prevent your discovery, and your secrecy to the king -and queen moult no feather. I have of late--but -wherefore I know not--lost all my mirth, forgone all -custom of exercises; and indeed it goes so heavily -with my disposition that this goodly frame, the -earth, seems to me a sterile promontory, this most -excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave -o'erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted -with golden fire, why, it appears no other thing to -me than a foul and pestilent congregation of vapours. -What a piece of work is a man! how noble in reason! -how infinite in faculty! in form and moving how -express and admirable! in action how like an angel! -in apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the -world! the paragon of animals! And yet, to me, -what is this quintessence of dust? man delights not -me: no, nor woman neither, though by your smiling -you seem to say so. - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -My lord, there was no such stuff in my thoughts. - - - -HAMLET -Why did you laugh then, when I said 'man delights not me'? - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -To think, my lord, if you delight not in man, what -lenten entertainment the players shall receive from -you: we coted them on the way; and hither are they -coming, to offer you service. - - - -HAMLET -He that plays the king shall be welcome; his majesty -shall have tribute of me; the adventurous knight -shall use his foil and target; the lover shall not -sigh gratis; the humourous man shall end his part -in peace; the clown shall make those laugh whose -lungs are tickled o' the sere; and the lady shall -say her mind freely, or the blank verse shall halt -for't. What players are they? - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -Even those you were wont to take delight in, the -tragedians of the city. - - - -HAMLET -How chances it they travel? their residence, both -in reputation and profit, was better both ways. - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -I think their inhibition comes by the means of the -late innovation. - - - -HAMLET -Do they hold the same estimation they did when I was -in the city? are they so followed? - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -No, indeed, are they not. - - - -HAMLET -How comes it? do they grow rusty? - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -Nay, their endeavour keeps in the wonted pace: but -there is, sir, an aery of children, little eyases, -that cry out on the top of question, and are most -tyrannically clapped for't: these are now the -fashion, and so berattle the common stages--so they -call them--that many wearing rapiers are afraid of -goose-quills and dare scarce come thither. - - - -HAMLET -What, are they children? who maintains 'em? how are -they escoted? Will they pursue the quality no -longer than they can sing? will they not say -afterwards, if they should grow themselves to common -players--as it is most like, if their means are no -better--their writers do them wrong, to make them -exclaim against their own succession? - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -'Faith, there has been much to do on both sides; and -the nation holds it no sin to tarre them to -controversy: there was, for a while, no money bid -for argument, unless the poet and the player went to -cuffs in the question. - - - -HAMLET -Is't possible? - - - -GUILDENSTERN -O, there has been much throwing about of brains. - - - -HAMLET -Do the boys carry it away? - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -Ay, that they do, my lord; Hercules and his load too. - - - -HAMLET -It is not very strange; for mine uncle is king of -Denmark, and those that would make mows at him while -my father lived, give twenty, forty, fifty, an -hundred ducats a-piece for his picture in little. -'Sblood, there is something in this more than -natural, if philosophy could find it out. - - -Flourish of trumpets within - - -GUILDENSTERN -There are the players. - - - -HAMLET -Gentlemen, you are welcome to Elsinore. Your hands, -come then: the appurtenance of welcome is fashion -and ceremony: let me comply with you in this garb, -lest my extent to the players, which, I tell you, -must show fairly outward, should more appear like -entertainment than yours. You are welcome: but my -uncle-father and aunt-mother are deceived. - - - -GUILDENSTERN -In what, my dear lord? - - - -HAMLET -I am but mad north-north-west: when the wind is -southerly I know a hawk from a handsaw. - - -Enter POLONIUS - - -LORD POLONIUS -Well be with you, gentlemen! - - - -HAMLET -Hark you, Guildenstern; and you too: at each ear a -hearer: that great baby you see there is not yet -out of his swaddling-clouts. - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -Happily he's the second time come to them; for they -say an old man is twice a child. - - - -HAMLET -I will prophesy he comes to tell me of the players; -mark it. You say right, sir: o' Monday morning; -'twas so indeed. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -My lord, I have news to tell you. - - - -HAMLET -My lord, I have news to tell you. -When Roscius was an actor in Rome,-- - - - -LORD POLONIUS -The actors are come hither, my lord. - - - -HAMLET -Buz, buz! - - - -LORD POLONIUS -Upon mine honour,-- - - - -HAMLET -Then came each actor on his ass,-- - - - -LORD POLONIUS -The best actors in the world, either for tragedy, -comedy, history, pastoral, pastoral-comical, -historical-pastoral, tragical-historical, tragical- -comical-historical-pastoral, scene individable, or -poem unlimited: Seneca cannot be too heavy, nor -Plautus too light. For the law of writ and the -liberty, these are the only men. - - - -HAMLET -O Jephthah, judge of Israel, what a treasure hadst thou! - - - -LORD POLONIUS -What a treasure had he, my lord? - - - -HAMLET -Why, -'One fair daughter and no more, -The which he loved passing well.' - - - -LORD POLONIUS -Aside Still on my daughter. - - - -HAMLET -Am I not i' the right, old Jephthah? - - - -LORD POLONIUS -If you call me Jephthah, my lord, I have a daughter -that I love passing well. - - - -HAMLET -Nay, that follows not. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -What follows, then, my lord? - - - -HAMLET -Why, -'As by lot, God wot,' -and then, you know, -'It came to pass, as most like it was,'-- -the first row of the pious chanson will show you -more; for look, where my abridgement comes. -Enter four or five Players -You are welcome, masters; welcome, all. I am glad -to see thee well. Welcome, good friends. O, my old -friend! thy face is valenced since I saw thee last: -comest thou to beard me in Denmark? What, my young -lady and mistress! By'r lady, your ladyship is -nearer to heaven than when I saw you last, by the -altitude of a chopine. Pray God, your voice, like -apiece of uncurrent gold, be not cracked within the -ring. Masters, you are all welcome. We'll e'en -to't like French falconers, fly at any thing we see: -we'll have a speech straight: come, give us a taste -of your quality; come, a passionate speech. - - - -First Player -What speech, my lord? - - - -HAMLET -I heard thee speak me a speech once, but it was -never acted; or, if it was, not above once; for the -play, I remember, pleased not the million; 'twas -caviare to the general: but it was--as I received -it, and others, whose judgments in such matters -cried in the top of mine--an excellent play, well -digested in the scenes, set down with as much -modesty as cunning. I remember, one said there -were no sallets in the lines to make the matter -savoury, nor no matter in the phrase that might -indict the author of affectation; but called it an -honest method, as wholesome as sweet, and by very -much more handsome than fine. One speech in it I -chiefly loved: 'twas Aeneas' tale to Dido; and -thereabout of it especially, where he speaks of -Priam's slaughter: if it live in your memory, begin -at this line: let me see, let me see-- -'The rugged Pyrrhus, like the Hyrcanian beast,'-- -it is not so:--it begins with Pyrrhus:-- -'The rugged Pyrrhus, he whose sable arms, -Black as his purpose, did the night resemble -When he lay couched in the ominous horse, -Hath now this dread and black complexion smear'd -With heraldry more dismal; head to foot -Now is he total gules; horridly trick'd -With blood of fathers, mothers, daughters, sons, -Baked and impasted with the parching streets, -That lend a tyrannous and damned light -To their lord's murder: roasted in wrath and fire, -And thus o'er-sized with coagulate gore, -With eyes like carbuncles, the hellish Pyrrhus -Old grandsire Priam seeks.' -So, proceed you. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -'Fore God, my lord, well spoken, with good accent and -good discretion. - - - -First Player -'Anon he finds him -Striking too short at Greeks; his antique sword, -Rebellious to his arm, lies where it falls, -Repugnant to command: unequal match'd, -Pyrrhus at Priam drives; in rage strikes wide; -But with the whiff and wind of his fell sword -The unnerved father falls. Then senseless Ilium, -Seeming to feel this blow, with flaming top -Stoops to his base, and with a hideous crash -Takes prisoner Pyrrhus' ear: for, lo! his sword, -Which was declining on the milky head -Of reverend Priam, seem'd i' the air to stick: -So, as a painted tyrant, Pyrrhus stood, -And like a neutral to his will and matter, -Did nothing. -But, as we often see, against some storm, -A silence in the heavens, the rack stand still, -The bold winds speechless and the orb below -As hush as death, anon the dreadful thunder -Doth rend the region, so, after Pyrrhus' pause, -Aroused vengeance sets him new a-work; -And never did the Cyclops' hammers fall -On Mars's armour forged for proof eterne -With less remorse than Pyrrhus' bleeding sword -Now falls on Priam. -Out, out, thou strumpet, Fortune! All you gods, -In general synod 'take away her power; -Break all the spokes and fellies from her wheel, -And bowl the round nave down the hill of heaven, -As low as to the fiends!' - - - -LORD POLONIUS -This is too long. - - - -HAMLET -It shall to the barber's, with your beard. Prithee, -say on: he's for a jig or a tale of bawdry, or he -sleeps: say on: come to Hecuba. - - - -First Player -'But who, O, who had seen the mobled queen--' - - - -HAMLET -'The mobled queen?' - - - -LORD POLONIUS -That's good; 'mobled queen' is good. - - - -First Player -'Run barefoot up and down, threatening the flames -With bisson rheum; a clout upon that head -Where late the diadem stood, and for a robe, -About her lank and all o'er-teemed loins, -A blanket, in the alarm of fear caught up; -Who this had seen, with tongue in venom steep'd, -'Gainst Fortune's state would treason have -pronounced: -But if the gods themselves did see her then -When she saw Pyrrhus make malicious sport -In mincing with his sword her husband's limbs, -The instant burst of clamour that she made, -Unless things mortal move them not at all, -Would have made milch the burning eyes of heaven, -And passion in the gods.' - - - -LORD POLONIUS -Look, whether he has not turned his colour and has -tears in's eyes. Pray you, no more. - - - -HAMLET -'Tis well: I'll have thee speak out the rest soon. -Good my lord, will you see the players well -bestowed? Do you hear, let them be well used; for -they are the abstract and brief chronicles of the -time: after your death you were better have a bad -epitaph than their ill report while you live. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -My lord, I will use them according to their desert. - - - -HAMLET -God's bodykins, man, much better: use every man -after his desert, and who should 'scape whipping? -Use them after your own honour and dignity: the less -they deserve, the more merit is in your bounty. -Take them in. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -Come, sirs. - - - -HAMLET -Follow him, friends: we'll hear a play to-morrow. -Exit POLONIUS with all the Players but the First -Dost thou hear me, old friend; can you play the -Murder of Gonzago? - - - -First Player -Ay, my lord. - - - -HAMLET -We'll ha't to-morrow night. You could, for a need, -study a speech of some dozen or sixteen lines, which -I would set down and insert in't, could you not? - - - -First Player -Ay, my lord. - - - -HAMLET -Very well. Follow that lord; and look you mock him -not. -Exit First Player -My good friends, I'll leave you till night: you are -welcome to Elsinore. - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -Good my lord! - - - -HAMLET -Ay, so, God be wi' ye; -Exeunt ROSENCRANTZ and GUILDENSTERN -Now I am alone. -O, what a rogue and peasant slave am I! -Is it not monstrous that this player here, -But in a fiction, in a dream of passion, -Could force his soul so to his own conceit -That from her working all his visage wann'd, -Tears in his eyes, distraction in's aspect, -A broken voice, and his whole function suiting -With forms to his conceit? and all for nothing! -For Hecuba! -What's Hecuba to him, or he to Hecuba, -That he should weep for her? What would he do, -Had he the motive and the cue for passion -That I have? He would drown the stage with tears -And cleave the general ear with horrid speech, -Make mad the guilty and appal the free, -Confound the ignorant, and amaze indeed -The very faculties of eyes and ears. Yet I, -A dull and muddy-mettled rascal, peak, -Like John-a-dreams, unpregnant of my cause, -And can say nothing; no, not for a king, -Upon whose property and most dear life -A damn'd defeat was made. Am I a coward? -Who calls me villain? breaks my pate across? -Plucks off my beard, and blows it in my face? -Tweaks me by the nose? gives me the lie i' the throat, -As deep as to the lungs? who does me this? -Ha! -'Swounds, I should take it: for it cannot be -But I am pigeon-liver'd and lack gall -To make oppression bitter, or ere this -I should have fatted all the region kites -With this slave's offal: bloody, bawdy villain! -Remorseless, treacherous, lecherous, kindless villain! -O, vengeance! -Why, what an ass am I! This is most brave, -That I, the son of a dear father murder'd, -Prompted to my revenge by heaven and hell, -Must, like a whore, unpack my heart with words, -And fall a-cursing, like a very drab, -A scullion! -Fie upon't! foh! About, my brain! I have heard -That guilty creatures sitting at a play -Have by the very cunning of the scene -Been struck so to the soul that presently -They have proclaim'd their malefactions; -For murder, though it have no tongue, will speak -With most miraculous organ. I'll have these players -Play something like the murder of my father -Before mine uncle: I'll observe his looks; -I'll tent him to the quick: if he but blench, -I know my course. The spirit that I have seen -May be the devil: and the devil hath power -To assume a pleasing shape; yea, and perhaps -Out of my weakness and my melancholy, -As he is very potent with such spirits, -Abuses me to damn me: I'll have grounds -More relative than this: the play 's the thing -Wherein I'll catch the conscience of the king. - - -Exit - - - - -ACT III - -SCENE I. A room in the castle. -Enter KING CLAUDIUS, QUEEN GERTRUDE, POLONIUS, -OPHELIA, ROSENCRANTZ, and GUILDENSTERN - - -KING CLAUDIUS -And can you, by no drift of circumstance, -Get from him why he puts on this confusion, -Grating so harshly all his days of quiet -With turbulent and dangerous lunacy? - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -He does confess he feels himself distracted; -But from what cause he will by no means speak. - - - -GUILDENSTERN -Nor do we find him forward to be sounded, -But, with a crafty madness, keeps aloof, -When we would bring him on to some confession -Of his true state. - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -Did he receive you well? - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -Most like a gentleman. - - - -GUILDENSTERN -But with much forcing of his disposition. - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -Niggard of question; but, of our demands, -Most free in his reply. - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -Did you assay him? -To any pastime? - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -Madam, it so fell out, that certain players -We o'er-raught on the way: of these we told him; -And there did seem in him a kind of joy -To hear of it: they are about the court, -And, as I think, they have already order -This night to play before him. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -'Tis most true: -And he beseech'd me to entreat your majesties -To hear and see the matter. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -With all my heart; and it doth much content me -To hear him so inclined. -Good gentlemen, give him a further edge, -And drive his purpose on to these delights. - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -We shall, my lord. - - -Exeunt ROSENCRANTZ and GUILDENSTERN - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Sweet Gertrude, leave us too; -For we have closely sent for Hamlet hither, -That he, as 'twere by accident, may here -Affront Ophelia: -Her father and myself, lawful espials, -Will so bestow ourselves that, seeing, unseen, -We may of their encounter frankly judge, -And gather by him, as he is behaved, -If 't be the affliction of his love or no -That thus he suffers for. - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -I shall obey you. -And for your part, Ophelia, I do wish -That your good beauties be the happy cause -Of Hamlet's wildness: so shall I hope your virtues -Will bring him to his wonted way again, -To both your honours. - - - -OPHELIA -Madam, I wish it may. - - -Exit QUEEN GERTRUDE - - -LORD POLONIUS -Ophelia, walk you here. Gracious, so please you, -We will bestow ourselves. -To OPHELIA -Read on this book; -That show of such an exercise may colour -Your loneliness. We are oft to blame in this,-- -'Tis too much proved--that with devotion's visage -And pious action we do sugar o'er -The devil himself. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Aside O, 'tis too true! -How smart a lash that speech doth give my conscience! -The harlot's cheek, beautied with plastering art, -Is not more ugly to the thing that helps it -Than is my deed to my most painted word: -O heavy burthen! - - - -LORD POLONIUS -I hear him coming: let's withdraw, my lord. - - -Exeunt KING CLAUDIUS and POLONIUS -Enter HAMLET - - -HAMLET -To be, or not to be: that is the question: -Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer -The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, -Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, -And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep; -No more; and by a sleep to say we end -The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks -That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation -Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep; -To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub; -For in that sleep of death what dreams may come -When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, -Must give us pause: there's the respect -That makes calamity of so long life; -For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, -The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely, -The pangs of despised love, the law's delay, -The insolence of office and the spurns -That patient merit of the unworthy takes, -When he himself might his quietus make -With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear, -To grunt and sweat under a weary life, -But that the dread of something after death, -The undiscover'd country from whose bourn -No traveller returns, puzzles the will -And makes us rather bear those ills we have -Than fly to others that we know not of? -Thus conscience does make cowards of us all; -And thus the native hue of resolution -Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought, -And enterprises of great pith and moment -With this regard their currents turn awry, -And lose the name of action.--Soft you now! -The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons -Be all my sins remember'd. - - - -OPHELIA -Good my lord, -How does your honour for this many a day? - - - -HAMLET -I humbly thank you; well, well, well. - - - -OPHELIA -My lord, I have remembrances of yours, -That I have longed long to re-deliver; -I pray you, now receive them. - - - -HAMLET -No, not I; -I never gave you aught. - - - -OPHELIA -My honour'd lord, you know right well you did; -And, with them, words of so sweet breath composed -As made the things more rich: their perfume lost, -Take these again; for to the noble mind -Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. -There, my lord. - - - -HAMLET -Ha, ha! are you honest? - - - -OPHELIA -My lord? - - - -HAMLET -Are you fair? - - - -OPHELIA -What means your lordship? - - - -HAMLET -That if you be honest and fair, your honesty should -admit no discourse to your beauty. - - - -OPHELIA -Could beauty, my lord, have better commerce than -with honesty? - - - -HAMLET -Ay, truly; for the power of beauty will sooner -transform honesty from what it is to a bawd than the -force of honesty can translate beauty into his -likeness: this was sometime a paradox, but now the -time gives it proof. I did love you once. - - - -OPHELIA -Indeed, my lord, you made me believe so. - - - -HAMLET -You should not have believed me; for virtue cannot -so inoculate our old stock but we shall relish of -it: I loved you not. - - - -OPHELIA -I was the more deceived. - - - -HAMLET -Get thee to a nunnery: why wouldst thou be a -breeder of sinners? I am myself indifferent honest; -but yet I could accuse me of such things that it -were better my mother had not borne me: I am very -proud, revengeful, ambitious, with more offences at -my beck than I have thoughts to put them in, -imagination to give them shape, or time to act them -in. What should such fellows as I do crawling -between earth and heaven? We are arrant knaves, -all; believe none of us. Go thy ways to a nunnery. -Where's your father? - - - -OPHELIA -At home, my lord. - - - -HAMLET -Let the doors be shut upon him, that he may play the -fool no where but in's own house. Farewell. - - - -OPHELIA -O, help him, you sweet heavens! - - - -HAMLET -If thou dost marry, I'll give thee this plague for -thy dowry: be thou as chaste as ice, as pure as -snow, thou shalt not escape calumny. Get thee to a -nunnery, go: farewell. Or, if thou wilt needs -marry, marry a fool; for wise men know well enough -what monsters you make of them. To a nunnery, go, -and quickly too. Farewell. - - - -OPHELIA -O heavenly powers, restore him! - - - -HAMLET -I have heard of your paintings too, well enough; God -has given you one face, and you make yourselves -another: you jig, you amble, and you lisp, and -nick-name God's creatures, and make your wantonness -your ignorance. Go to, I'll no more on't; it hath -made me mad. I say, we will have no more marriages: -those that are married already, all but one, shall -live; the rest shall keep as they are. To a -nunnery, go. - - -Exit - - -OPHELIA -O, what a noble mind is here o'erthrown! -The courtier's, soldier's, scholar's, eye, tongue, sword; -The expectancy and rose of the fair state, -The glass of fashion and the mould of form, -The observed of all observers, quite, quite down! -And I, of ladies most deject and wretched, -That suck'd the honey of his music vows, -Now see that noble and most sovereign reason, -Like sweet bells jangled, out of tune and harsh; -That unmatch'd form and feature of blown youth -Blasted with ecstasy: O, woe is me, -To have seen what I have seen, see what I see! - - -Re-enter KING CLAUDIUS and POLONIUS - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Love! his affections do not that way tend; -Nor what he spake, though it lack'd form a little, -Was not like madness. There's something in his soul, -O'er which his melancholy sits on brood; -And I do doubt the hatch and the disclose -Will be some danger: which for to prevent, -I have in quick determination -Thus set it down: he shall with speed to England, -For the demand of our neglected tribute -Haply the seas and countries different -With variable objects shall expel -This something-settled matter in his heart, -Whereon his brains still beating puts him thus -From fashion of himself. What think you on't? - - - -LORD POLONIUS -It shall do well: but yet do I believe -The origin and commencement of his grief -Sprung from neglected love. How now, Ophelia! -You need not tell us what Lord Hamlet said; -We heard it all. My lord, do as you please; -But, if you hold it fit, after the play -Let his queen mother all alone entreat him -To show his grief: let her be round with him; -And I'll be placed, so please you, in the ear -Of all their conference. If she find him not, -To England send him, or confine him where -Your wisdom best shall think. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -It shall be so: -Madness in great ones must not unwatch'd go. - - -Exeunt - - -SCENE II. A hall in the castle. -Enter HAMLET and Players - - -HAMLET -Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounced it to -you, trippingly on the tongue: but if you mouth it, -as many of your players do, I had as lief the -town-crier spoke my lines. Nor do not saw the air -too much with your hand, thus, but use all gently; -for in the very torrent, tempest, and, as I may say, -the whirlwind of passion, you must acquire and beget -a temperance that may give it smoothness. O, it -offends me to the soul to hear a robustious -periwig-pated fellow tear a passion to tatters, to -very rags, to split the ears of the groundlings, who -for the most part are capable of nothing but -inexplicable dumbshows and noise: I would have such -a fellow whipped for o'erdoing Termagant; it -out-herods Herod: pray you, avoid it. - - - -First Player -I warrant your honour. - - - -HAMLET -Be not too tame neither, but let your own discretion -be your tutor: suit the action to the word, the -word to the action; with this special o'erstep not -the modesty of nature: for any thing so overdone is -from the purpose of playing, whose end, both at the -first and now, was and is, to hold, as 'twere, the -mirror up to nature; to show virtue her own feature, -scorn her own image, and the very age and body of -the time his form and pressure. Now this overdone, -or come tardy off, though it make the unskilful -laugh, cannot but make the judicious grieve; the -censure of the which one must in your allowance -o'erweigh a whole theatre of others. O, there be -players that I have seen play, and heard others -praise, and that highly, not to speak it profanely, -that, neither having the accent of Christians nor -the gait of Christian, pagan, nor man, have so -strutted and bellowed that I have thought some of -nature's journeymen had made men and not made them -well, they imitated humanity so abominably. - - - -First Player -I hope we have reformed that indifferently with us, -sir. - - - -HAMLET -O, reform it altogether. And let those that play -your clowns speak no more than is set down for them; -for there be of them that will themselves laugh, to -set on some quantity of barren spectators to laugh -too; though, in the mean time, some necessary -question of the play be then to be considered: -that's villanous, and shows a most pitiful ambition -in the fool that uses it. Go, make you ready. -Exeunt Players -Enter POLONIUS, ROSENCRANTZ, and GUILDENSTERN -How now, my lord! I will the king hear this piece of work? - - - -LORD POLONIUS -And the queen too, and that presently. - - - -HAMLET -Bid the players make haste. -Exit POLONIUS -Will you two help to hasten them? - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -GUILDENSTERN -We will, my lord. - - -Exeunt ROSENCRANTZ and GUILDENSTERN - - -HAMLET -What ho! Horatio! - - -Enter HORATIO - - -HORATIO -Here, sweet lord, at your service. - - - -HAMLET -Horatio, thou art e'en as just a man -As e'er my conversation coped withal. - - - -HORATIO -O, my dear lord,-- - - - -HAMLET -Nay, do not think I flatter; -For what advancement may I hope from thee -That no revenue hast but thy good spirits, -To feed and clothe thee? Why should the poor be flatter'd? -No, let the candied tongue lick absurd pomp, -And crook the pregnant hinges of the knee -Where thrift may follow fawning. Dost thou hear? -Since my dear soul was mistress of her choice -And could of men distinguish, her election -Hath seal'd thee for herself; for thou hast been -As one, in suffering all, that suffers nothing, -A man that fortune's buffets and rewards -Hast ta'en with equal thanks: and blest are those -Whose blood and judgment are so well commingled, -That they are not a pipe for fortune's finger -To sound what stop she please. Give me that man -That is not passion's slave, and I will wear him -In my heart's core, ay, in my heart of heart, -As I do thee.--Something too much of this.-- -There is a play to-night before the king; -One scene of it comes near the circumstance -Which I have told thee of my father's death: -I prithee, when thou seest that act afoot, -Even with the very comment of thy soul -Observe mine uncle: if his occulted guilt -Do not itself unkennel in one speech, -It is a damned ghost that we have seen, -And my imaginations are as foul -As Vulcan's stithy. Give him heedful note; -For I mine eyes will rivet to his face, -And after we will both our judgments join -In censure of his seeming. - - - -HORATIO -Well, my lord: -If he steal aught the whilst this play is playing, -And 'scape detecting, I will pay the theft. - - - -HAMLET -They are coming to the play; I must be idle: -Get you a place. - - -Danish march. A flourish. Enter KING CLAUDIUS, -QUEEN GERTRUDE, POLONIUS, OPHELIA, ROSENCRANTZ, -GUILDENSTERN, and others - - -KING CLAUDIUS -How fares our cousin Hamlet? - - - -HAMLET -Excellent, i' faith; of the chameleon's dish: I eat -the air, promise-crammed: you cannot feed capons so. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -I have nothing with this answer, Hamlet; these words -are not mine. - - - -HAMLET -No, nor mine now. -To POLONIUS -My lord, you played once i' the university, you say? - - - -LORD POLONIUS -That did I, my lord; and was accounted a good actor. - - - -HAMLET -What did you enact? - - - -LORD POLONIUS -I did enact Julius Caesar: I was killed i' the -Capitol; Brutus killed me. - - - -HAMLET -It was a brute part of him to kill so capital a calf -there. Be the players ready? - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -Ay, my lord; they stay upon your patience. - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -Come hither, my dear Hamlet, sit by me. - - - -HAMLET -No, good mother, here's metal more attractive. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -To KING CLAUDIUS O, ho! do you mark that? - - - -HAMLET -Lady, shall I lie in your lap? - - -Lying down at OPHELIA's feet - - -OPHELIA -No, my lord. - - - -HAMLET -I mean, my head upon your lap? - - - -OPHELIA -Ay, my lord. - - - -HAMLET -Do you think I meant country matters? - - - -OPHELIA -I think nothing, my lord. - - - -HAMLET -That's a fair thought to lie between maids' legs. - - - -OPHELIA -What is, my lord? - - - -HAMLET -Nothing. - - - -OPHELIA -You are merry, my lord. - - - -HAMLET -Who, I? - - - -OPHELIA -Ay, my lord. - - - -HAMLET -O God, your only jig-maker. What should a man do -but be merry? for, look you, how cheerfully my -mother looks, and my father died within these two hours. - - - -OPHELIA -Nay, 'tis twice two months, my lord. - - - -HAMLET -So long? Nay then, let the devil wear black, for -I'll have a suit of sables. O heavens! die two -months ago, and not forgotten yet? Then there's -hope a great man's memory may outlive his life half -a year: but, by'r lady, he must build churches, -then; or else shall he suffer not thinking on, with -the hobby-horse, whose epitaph is 'For, O, for, O, -the hobby-horse is forgot.' -Hautboys play. The dumb-show enters - - -Enter a King and a Queen very lovingly; the Queen -embracing him, and he her. She kneels, and makes -show of protestation unto him. He takes her up, -and declines his head upon her neck: lays him down -upon a bank of flowers: she, seeing him asleep, -leaves him. Anon comes in a fellow, takes off his -crown, kisses it, and pours poison in the King's -ears, and exit. The Queen returns; finds the King -dead, and makes passionate action. The Poisoner, -with some two or three Mutes, comes in again, -seeming to lament with her. The dead body is -carried away. The Poisoner wooes the Queen with -gifts: she seems loath and unwilling awhile, but -in the end accepts his love -Exeunt - - -OPHELIA -What means this, my lord? - - - -HAMLET -Marry, this is miching mallecho; it means mischief. - - - -OPHELIA -Belike this show imports the argument of the play. - - -Enter Prologue - - -HAMLET -We shall know by this fellow: the players cannot -keep counsel; they'll tell all. - - - -OPHELIA -Will he tell us what this show meant? - - - -HAMLET -Ay, or any show that you'll show him: be not you -ashamed to show, he'll not shame to tell you what it means. - - - -OPHELIA -You are naught, you are naught: I'll mark the play. - - - -Prologue -For us, and for our tragedy, -Here stooping to your clemency, -We beg your hearing patiently. - - -Exit - - -HAMLET -Is this a prologue, or the posy of a ring? - - - -OPHELIA -'Tis brief, my lord. - - - -HAMLET -As woman's love. - - -Enter two Players, King and Queen - - -Player King -Full thirty times hath Phoebus' cart gone round -Neptune's salt wash and Tellus' orbed ground, -And thirty dozen moons with borrow'd sheen -About the world have times twelve thirties been, -Since love our hearts and Hymen did our hands -Unite commutual in most sacred bands. - - - -Player Queen -So many journeys may the sun and moon -Make us again count o'er ere love be done! -But, woe is me, you are so sick of late, -So far from cheer and from your former state, -That I distrust you. Yet, though I distrust, -Discomfort you, my lord, it nothing must: -For women's fear and love holds quantity; -In neither aught, or in extremity. -Now, what my love is, proof hath made you know; -And as my love is sized, my fear is so: -Where love is great, the littlest doubts are fear; -Where little fears grow great, great love grows there. - - - -Player King -'Faith, I must leave thee, love, and shortly too; -My operant powers their functions leave to do: -And thou shalt live in this fair world behind, -Honour'd, beloved; and haply one as kind -For husband shalt thou-- - - - -Player Queen -O, confound the rest! -Such love must needs be treason in my breast: -In second husband let me be accurst! -None wed the second but who kill'd the first. - - - -HAMLET -Aside Wormwood, wormwood. - - - -Player Queen -The instances that second marriage move -Are base respects of thrift, but none of love: -A second time I kill my husband dead, -When second husband kisses me in bed. - - - -Player King -I do believe you think what now you speak; -But what we do determine oft we break. -Purpose is but the slave to memory, -Of violent birth, but poor validity; -Which now, like fruit unripe, sticks on the tree; -But fall, unshaken, when they mellow be. -Most necessary 'tis that we forget -To pay ourselves what to ourselves is debt: -What to ourselves in passion we propose, -The passion ending, doth the purpose lose. -The violence of either grief or joy -Their own enactures with themselves destroy: -Where joy most revels, grief doth most lament; -Grief joys, joy grieves, on slender accident. -This world is not for aye, nor 'tis not strange -That even our loves should with our fortunes change; -For 'tis a question left us yet to prove, -Whether love lead fortune, or else fortune love. -The great man down, you mark his favourite flies; -The poor advanced makes friends of enemies. -And hitherto doth love on fortune tend; -For who not needs shall never lack a friend, -And who in want a hollow friend doth try, -Directly seasons him his enemy. -But, orderly to end where I begun, -Our wills and fates do so contrary run -That our devices still are overthrown; -Our thoughts are ours, their ends none of our own: -So think thou wilt no second husband wed; -But die thy thoughts when thy first lord is dead. - - - -Player Queen -Nor earth to me give food, nor heaven light! -Sport and repose lock from me day and night! -To desperation turn my trust and hope! -An anchor's cheer in prison be my scope! -Each opposite that blanks the face of joy -Meet what I would have well and it destroy! -Both here and hence pursue me lasting strife, -If, once a widow, ever I be wife! - - - -HAMLET -If she should break it now! - - - -Player King -'Tis deeply sworn. Sweet, leave me here awhile; -My spirits grow dull, and fain I would beguile -The tedious day with sleep. - - -Sleeps - - -Player Queen -Sleep rock thy brain, -And never come mischance between us twain! - - -Exit - - -HAMLET -Madam, how like you this play? - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -The lady protests too much, methinks. - - - -HAMLET -O, but she'll keep her word. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Have you heard the argument? Is there no offence in 't? - - - -HAMLET -No, no, they do but jest, poison in jest; no offence -i' the world. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -What do you call the play? - - - -HAMLET -The Mouse-trap. Marry, how? Tropically. This play -is the image of a murder done in Vienna: Gonzago is -the duke's name; his wife, Baptista: you shall see -anon; 'tis a knavish piece of work: but what o' -that? your majesty and we that have free souls, it -touches us not: let the galled jade wince, our -withers are unwrung. -Enter LUCIANUS -This is one Lucianus, nephew to the king. - - - -OPHELIA -You are as good as a chorus, my lord. - - - -HAMLET -I could interpret between you and your love, if I -could see the puppets dallying. - - - -OPHELIA -You are keen, my lord, you are keen. - - - -HAMLET -It would cost you a groaning to take off my edge. - - - -OPHELIA -Still better, and worse. - - - -HAMLET -So you must take your husbands. Begin, murderer; -pox, leave thy damnable faces, and begin. Come: -'the croaking raven doth bellow for revenge.' - - - -LUCIANUS -Thoughts black, hands apt, drugs fit, and time agreeing; -Confederate season, else no creature seeing; -Thou mixture rank, of midnight weeds collected, -With Hecate's ban thrice blasted, thrice infected, -Thy natural magic and dire property, -On wholesome life usurp immediately. - - -Pours the poison into the sleeper's ears - - -HAMLET -He poisons him i' the garden for's estate. His -name's Gonzago: the story is extant, and writ in -choice Italian: you shall see anon how the murderer -gets the love of Gonzago's wife. - - - -OPHELIA -The king rises. - - - -HAMLET -What, frighted with false fire! - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -How fares my lord? - - - -LORD POLONIUS -Give o'er the play. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Give me some light: away! - - - -All -Lights, lights, lights! - - -Exeunt all but HAMLET and HORATIO - - -HAMLET -Why, let the stricken deer go weep, -The hart ungalled play; -For some must watch, while some must sleep: -So runs the world away. -Would not this, sir, and a forest of feathers-- if -the rest of my fortunes turn Turk with me--with two -Provincial roses on my razed shoes, get me a -fellowship in a cry of players, sir? - - - -HORATIO -Half a share. - - - -HAMLET -A whole one, I. -For thou dost know, O Damon dear, -This realm dismantled was -Of Jove himself; and now reigns here -A very, very--pajock. - - - -HORATIO -You might have rhymed. - - - -HAMLET -O good Horatio, I'll take the ghost's word for a -thousand pound. Didst perceive? - - - -HORATIO -Very well, my lord. - - - -HAMLET -Upon the talk of the poisoning? - - - -HORATIO -I did very well note him. - - - -HAMLET -Ah, ha! Come, some music! come, the recorders! -For if the king like not the comedy, -Why then, belike, he likes it not, perdy. -Come, some music! - - -Re-enter ROSENCRANTZ and GUILDENSTERN - - -GUILDENSTERN -Good my lord, vouchsafe me a word with you. - - - -HAMLET -Sir, a whole history. - - - -GUILDENSTERN -The king, sir,-- - - - -HAMLET -Ay, sir, what of him? - - - -GUILDENSTERN -Is in his retirement marvellous distempered. - - - -HAMLET -With drink, sir? - - - -GUILDENSTERN -No, my lord, rather with choler. - - - -HAMLET -Your wisdom should show itself more richer to -signify this to his doctor; for, for me to put him -to his purgation would perhaps plunge him into far -more choler. - - - -GUILDENSTERN -Good my lord, put your discourse into some frame and -start not so wildly from my affair. - - - -HAMLET -I am tame, sir: pronounce. - - - -GUILDENSTERN -The queen, your mother, in most great affliction of -spirit, hath sent me to you. - - - -HAMLET -You are welcome. - - - -GUILDENSTERN -Nay, good my lord, this courtesy is not of the right -breed. If it shall please you to make me a -wholesome answer, I will do your mother's -commandment: if not, your pardon and my return -shall be the end of my business. - - - -HAMLET -Sir, I cannot. - - - -GUILDENSTERN -What, my lord? - - - -HAMLET -Make you a wholesome answer; my wit's diseased: but, -sir, such answer as I can make, you shall command; -or, rather, as you say, my mother: therefore no -more, but to the matter: my mother, you say,-- - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -Then thus she says; your behavior hath struck her -into amazement and admiration. - - - -HAMLET -O wonderful son, that can so astonish a mother! But -is there no sequel at the heels of this mother's -admiration? Impart. - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -She desires to speak with you in her closet, ere you -go to bed. - - - -HAMLET -We shall obey, were she ten times our mother. Have -you any further trade with us? - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -My lord, you once did love me. - - - -HAMLET -So I do still, by these pickers and stealers. - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -Good my lord, what is your cause of distemper? you -do, surely, bar the door upon your own liberty, if -you deny your griefs to your friend. - - - -HAMLET -Sir, I lack advancement. - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -How can that be, when you have the voice of the king -himself for your succession in Denmark? - - - -HAMLET -Ay, but sir, 'While the grass grows,'--the proverb -is something musty. -Re-enter Players with recorders -O, the recorders! let me see one. To withdraw with -you:--why do you go about to recover the wind of me, -as if you would drive me into a toil? - - - -GUILDENSTERN -O, my lord, if my duty be too bold, my love is too -unmannerly. - - - -HAMLET -I do not well understand that. Will you play upon -this pipe? - - - -GUILDENSTERN -My lord, I cannot. - - - -HAMLET -I pray you. - - - -GUILDENSTERN -Believe me, I cannot. - - - -HAMLET -I do beseech you. - - - -GUILDENSTERN -I know no touch of it, my lord. - - - -HAMLET -'Tis as easy as lying: govern these ventages with -your lingers and thumb, give it breath with your -mouth, and it will discourse most eloquent music. -Look you, these are the stops. - - - -GUILDENSTERN -But these cannot I command to any utterance of -harmony; I have not the skill. - - - -HAMLET -Why, look you now, how unworthy a thing you make of -me! You would play upon me; you would seem to know -my stops; you would pluck out the heart of my -mystery; you would sound me from my lowest note to -the top of my compass: and there is much music, -excellent voice, in this little organ; yet cannot -you make it speak. 'Sblood, do you think I am -easier to be played on than a pipe? Call me what -instrument you will, though you can fret me, yet you -cannot play upon me. -Enter POLONIUS -God bless you, sir! - - - -LORD POLONIUS -My lord, the queen would speak with you, and -presently. - - - -HAMLET -Do you see yonder cloud that's almost in shape of a camel? - - - -LORD POLONIUS -By the mass, and 'tis like a camel, indeed. - - - -HAMLET -Methinks it is like a weasel. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -It is backed like a weasel. - - - -HAMLET -Or like a whale? - - - -LORD POLONIUS -Very like a whale. - - - -HAMLET -Then I will come to my mother by and by. They fool -me to the top of my bent. I will come by and by. - - - -LORD POLONIUS -I will say so. - - - -HAMLET -By and by is easily said. -Exit POLONIUS -Leave me, friends. -Exeunt all but HAMLET -Tis now the very witching time of night, -When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out -Contagion to this world: now could I drink hot blood, -And do such bitter business as the day -Would quake to look on. Soft! now to my mother. -O heart, lose not thy nature; let not ever -The soul of Nero enter this firm bosom: -Let me be cruel, not unnatural: -I will speak daggers to her, but use none; -My tongue and soul in this be hypocrites; -How in my words soever she be shent, -To give them seals never, my soul, consent! - - -Exit - - -SCENE III. A room in the castle. -Enter KING CLAUDIUS, ROSENCRANTZ, and GUILDENSTERN - - -KING CLAUDIUS -I like him not, nor stands it safe with us -To let his madness range. Therefore prepare you; -I your commission will forthwith dispatch, -And he to England shall along with you: -The terms of our estate may not endure -Hazard so dangerous as doth hourly grow -Out of his lunacies. - - - -GUILDENSTERN -We will ourselves provide: -Most holy and religious fear it is -To keep those many many bodies safe -That live and feed upon your majesty. - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -The single and peculiar life is bound, -With all the strength and armour of the mind, -To keep itself from noyance; but much more -That spirit upon whose weal depend and rest -The lives of many. The cease of majesty -Dies not alone; but, like a gulf, doth draw -What's near it with it: it is a massy wheel, -Fix'd on the summit of the highest mount, -To whose huge spokes ten thousand lesser things -Are mortised and adjoin'd; which, when it falls, -Each small annexment, petty consequence, -Attends the boisterous ruin. Never alone -Did the king sigh, but with a general groan. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Arm you, I pray you, to this speedy voyage; -For we will fetters put upon this fear, -Which now goes too free-footed. - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -GUILDENSTERN -We will haste us. - - -Exeunt ROSENCRANTZ and GUILDENSTERN -Enter POLONIUS - - -LORD POLONIUS -My lord, he's going to his mother's closet: -Behind the arras I'll convey myself, -To hear the process; and warrant she'll tax him home: -And, as you said, and wisely was it said, -'Tis meet that some more audience than a mother, -Since nature makes them partial, should o'erhear -The speech, of vantage. Fare you well, my liege: -I'll call upon you ere you go to bed, -And tell you what I know. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Thanks, dear my lord. -Exit POLONIUS -O, my offence is rank it smells to heaven; -It hath the primal eldest curse upon't, -A brother's murder. Pray can I not, -Though inclination be as sharp as will: -My stronger guilt defeats my strong intent; -And, like a man to double business bound, -I stand in pause where I shall first begin, -And both neglect. What if this cursed hand -Were thicker than itself with brother's blood, -Is there not rain enough in the sweet heavens -To wash it white as snow? Whereto serves mercy -But to confront the visage of offence? -And what's in prayer but this two-fold force, -To be forestalled ere we come to fall, -Or pardon'd being down? Then I'll look up; -My fault is past. But, O, what form of prayer -Can serve my turn? 'Forgive me my foul murder'? -That cannot be; since I am still possess'd -Of those effects for which I did the murder, -My crown, mine own ambition and my queen. -May one be pardon'd and retain the offence? -In the corrupted currents of this world -Offence's gilded hand may shove by justice, -And oft 'tis seen the wicked prize itself -Buys out the law: but 'tis not so above; -There is no shuffling, there the action lies -In his true nature; and we ourselves compell'd, -Even to the teeth and forehead of our faults, -To give in evidence. What then? what rests? -Try what repentance can: what can it not? -Yet what can it when one can not repent? -O wretched state! O bosom black as death! -O limed soul, that, struggling to be free, -Art more engaged! Help, angels! Make assay! -Bow, stubborn knees; and, heart with strings of steel, -Be soft as sinews of the newborn babe! -All may be well. - - -Retires and kneels -Enter HAMLET - - -HAMLET -Now might I do it pat, now he is praying; -And now I'll do't. And so he goes to heaven; -And so am I revenged. That would be scann'd: -A villain kills my father; and for that, -I, his sole son, do this same villain send -To heaven. -O, this is hire and salary, not revenge. -He took my father grossly, full of bread; -With all his crimes broad blown, as flush as May; -And how his audit stands who knows save heaven? -But in our circumstance and course of thought, -'Tis heavy with him: and am I then revenged, -To take him in the purging of his soul, -When he is fit and season'd for his passage? -No! -Up, sword; and know thou a more horrid hent: -When he is drunk asleep, or in his rage, -Or in the incestuous pleasure of his bed; -At gaming, swearing, or about some act -That has no relish of salvation in't; -Then trip him, that his heels may kick at heaven, -And that his soul may be as damn'd and black -As hell, whereto it goes. My mother stays: -This physic but prolongs thy sickly days. - - -Exit - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Rising My words fly up, my thoughts remain below: -Words without thoughts never to heaven go. - - -Exit - - -SCENE IV. The Queen's closet. -Enter QUEEN MARGARET and POLONIUS - - -LORD POLONIUS -He will come straight. Look you lay home to him: -Tell him his pranks have been too broad to bear with, -And that your grace hath screen'd and stood between -Much heat and him. I'll sconce me even here. -Pray you, be round with him. - - - -HAMLET -Within Mother, mother, mother! - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -I'll warrant you, -Fear me not: withdraw, I hear him coming. - - -POLONIUS hides behind the arras -Enter HAMLET - - -HAMLET -Now, mother, what's the matter? - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -Hamlet, thou hast thy father much offended. - - - -HAMLET -Mother, you have my father much offended. - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -Come, come, you answer with an idle tongue. - - - -HAMLET -Go, go, you question with a wicked tongue. - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -Why, how now, Hamlet! - - - -HAMLET -What's the matter now? - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -Have you forgot me? - - - -HAMLET -No, by the rood, not so: -You are the queen, your husband's brother's wife; -And--would it were not so!--you are my mother. - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -Nay, then, I'll set those to you that can speak. - - - -HAMLET -Come, come, and sit you down; you shall not budge; -You go not till I set you up a glass -Where you may see the inmost part of you. - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -What wilt thou do? thou wilt not murder me? -Help, help, ho! - - - -LORD POLONIUS -Behind What, ho! help, help, help! - - - -HAMLET -Drawing How now! a rat? Dead, for a ducat, dead! - - -Makes a pass through the arras - - -LORD POLONIUS -Behind O, I am slain! - - -Falls and dies - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -O me, what hast thou done? - - - -HAMLET -Nay, I know not: -Is it the king? - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -O, what a rash and bloody deed is this! - - - -HAMLET -A bloody deed! almost as bad, good mother, -As kill a king, and marry with his brother. - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -As kill a king! - - - -HAMLET -Ay, lady, 'twas my word. -Lifts up the array and discovers POLONIUS -Thou wretched, rash, intruding fool, farewell! -I took thee for thy better: take thy fortune; -Thou find'st to be too busy is some danger. -Leave wringing of your hands: peace! sit you down, -And let me wring your heart; for so I shall, -If it be made of penetrable stuff, -If damned custom have not brass'd it so -That it is proof and bulwark against sense. - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -What have I done, that thou darest wag thy tongue -In noise so rude against me? - - - -HAMLET -Such an act -That blurs the grace and blush of modesty, -Calls virtue hypocrite, takes off the rose -From the fair forehead of an innocent love -And sets a blister there, makes marriage-vows -As false as dicers' oaths: O, such a deed -As from the body of contraction plucks -The very soul, and sweet religion makes -A rhapsody of words: heaven's face doth glow: -Yea, this solidity and compound mass, -With tristful visage, as against the doom, -Is thought-sick at the act. - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -Ay me, what act, -That roars so loud, and thunders in the index? - - - -HAMLET -Look here, upon this picture, and on this, -The counterfeit presentment of two brothers. -See, what a grace was seated on this brow; -Hyperion's curls; the front of Jove himself; -An eye like Mars, to threaten and command; -A station like the herald Mercury -New-lighted on a heaven-kissing hill; -A combination and a form indeed, -Where every god did seem to set his seal, -To give the world assurance of a man: -This was your husband. Look you now, what follows: -Here is your husband; like a mildew'd ear, -Blasting his wholesome brother. Have you eyes? -Could you on this fair mountain leave to feed, -And batten on this moor? Ha! have you eyes? -You cannot call it love; for at your age -The hey-day in the blood is tame, it's humble, -And waits upon the judgment: and what judgment -Would step from this to this? Sense, sure, you have, -Else could you not have motion; but sure, that sense -Is apoplex'd; for madness would not err, -Nor sense to ecstasy was ne'er so thrall'd -But it reserved some quantity of choice, -To serve in such a difference. What devil was't -That thus hath cozen'd you at hoodman-blind? -Eyes without feeling, feeling without sight, -Ears without hands or eyes, smelling sans all, -Or but a sickly part of one true sense -Could not so mope. -O shame! where is thy blush? Rebellious hell, -If thou canst mutine in a matron's bones, -To flaming youth let virtue be as wax, -And melt in her own fire: proclaim no shame -When the compulsive ardour gives the charge, -Since frost itself as actively doth burn -And reason panders will. - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -O Hamlet, speak no more: -Thou turn'st mine eyes into my very soul; -And there I see such black and grained spots -As will not leave their tinct. - - - -HAMLET -Nay, but to live -In the rank sweat of an enseamed bed, -Stew'd in corruption, honeying and making love -Over the nasty sty,-- - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -O, speak to me no more; -These words, like daggers, enter in mine ears; -No more, sweet Hamlet! - - - -HAMLET -A murderer and a villain; -A slave that is not twentieth part the tithe -Of your precedent lord; a vice of kings; -A cutpurse of the empire and the rule, -That from a shelf the precious diadem stole, -And put it in his pocket! - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -No more! - - - -HAMLET -A king of shreds and patches,-- -Enter Ghost -Save me, and hover o'er me with your wings, -You heavenly guards! What would your gracious figure? - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -Alas, he's mad! - - - -HAMLET -Do you not come your tardy son to chide, -That, lapsed in time and passion, lets go by -The important acting of your dread command? O, say! - - - -Ghost -Do not forget: this visitation -Is but to whet thy almost blunted purpose. -But, look, amazement on thy mother sits: -O, step between her and her fighting soul: -Conceit in weakest bodies strongest works: -Speak to her, Hamlet. - - - -HAMLET -How is it with you, lady? - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -Alas, how is't with you, -That you do bend your eye on vacancy -And with the incorporal air do hold discourse? -Forth at your eyes your spirits wildly peep; -And, as the sleeping soldiers in the alarm, -Your bedded hair, like life in excrements, -Starts up, and stands on end. O gentle son, -Upon the heat and flame of thy distemper -Sprinkle cool patience. Whereon do you look? - - - -HAMLET -On him, on him! Look you, how pale he glares! -His form and cause conjoin'd, preaching to stones, -Would make them capable. Do not look upon me; -Lest with this piteous action you convert -My stern effects: then what I have to do -Will want true colour; tears perchance for blood. - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -To whom do you speak this? - - - -HAMLET -Do you see nothing there? - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -Nothing at all; yet all that is I see. - - - -HAMLET -Nor did you nothing hear? - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -No, nothing but ourselves. - - - -HAMLET -Why, look you there! look, how it steals away! -My father, in his habit as he lived! -Look, where he goes, even now, out at the portal! - - -Exit Ghost - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -This the very coinage of your brain: -This bodiless creation ecstasy -Is very cunning in. - - - -HAMLET -Ecstasy! -My pulse, as yours, doth temperately keep time, -And makes as healthful music: it is not madness -That I have utter'd: bring me to the test, -And I the matter will re-word; which madness -Would gambol from. Mother, for love of grace, -Lay not that mattering unction to your soul, -That not your trespass, but my madness speaks: -It will but skin and film the ulcerous place, -Whilst rank corruption, mining all within, -Infects unseen. Confess yourself to heaven; -Repent what's past; avoid what is to come; -And do not spread the compost on the weeds, -To make them ranker. Forgive me this my virtue; -For in the fatness of these pursy times -Virtue itself of vice must pardon beg, -Yea, curb and woo for leave to do him good. - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -O Hamlet, thou hast cleft my heart in twain. - - - -HAMLET -O, throw away the worser part of it, -And live the purer with the other half. -Good night: but go not to mine uncle's bed; -Assume a virtue, if you have it not. -That monster, custom, who all sense doth eat, -Of habits devil, is angel yet in this, -That to the use of actions fair and good -He likewise gives a frock or livery, -That aptly is put on. Refrain to-night, -And that shall lend a kind of easiness -To the next abstinence: the next more easy; -For use almost can change the stamp of nature, -And either ... the devil, or throw him out -With wondrous potency. Once more, good night: -And when you are desirous to be bless'd, -I'll blessing beg of you. For this same lord, -Pointing to POLONIUS -I do repent: but heaven hath pleased it so, -To punish me with this and this with me, -That I must be their scourge and minister. -I will bestow him, and will answer well -The death I gave him. So, again, good night. -I must be cruel, only to be kind: -Thus bad begins and worse remains behind. -One word more, good lady. - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -What shall I do? - - - -HAMLET -Not this, by no means, that I bid you do: -Let the bloat king tempt you again to bed; -Pinch wanton on your cheek; call you his mouse; -And let him, for a pair of reechy kisses, -Or paddling in your neck with his damn'd fingers, -Make you to ravel all this matter out, -That I essentially am not in madness, -But mad in craft. 'Twere good you let him know; -For who, that's but a queen, fair, sober, wise, -Would from a paddock, from a bat, a gib, -Such dear concernings hide? who would do so? -No, in despite of sense and secrecy, -Unpeg the basket on the house's top. -Let the birds fly, and, like the famous ape, -To try conclusions, in the basket creep, -And break your own neck down. - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -Be thou assured, if words be made of breath, -And breath of life, I have no life to breathe -What thou hast said to me. - - - -HAMLET -I must to England; you know that? - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -Alack, -I had forgot: 'tis so concluded on. - - - -HAMLET -There's letters seal'd: and my two schoolfellows, -Whom I will trust as I will adders fang'd, -They bear the mandate; they must sweep my way, -And marshal me to knavery. Let it work; -For 'tis the sport to have the engineer -Hoist with his own petard: and 't shall go hard -But I will delve one yard below their mines, -And blow them at the moon: O, 'tis most sweet, -When in one line two crafts directly meet. -This man shall set me packing: -I'll lug the guts into the neighbour room. -Mother, good night. Indeed this counsellor -Is now most still, most secret and most grave, -Who was in life a foolish prating knave. -Come, sir, to draw toward an end with you. -Good night, mother. - - -Exeunt severally; HAMLET dragging in POLONIUS - - - - -ACT IV - -SCENE I. A room in the castle. -Enter KING CLAUDIUS, QUEEN GERTRUDE, ROSENCRANTZ, -and GUILDENSTERN - - -KING CLAUDIUS -There's matter in these sighs, these profound heaves: -You must translate: 'tis fit we understand them. -Where is your son? - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -Bestow this place on us a little while. -Exeunt ROSENCRANTZ and GUILDENSTERN -Ah, my good lord, what have I seen to-night! - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -What, Gertrude? How does Hamlet? - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -Mad as the sea and wind, when both contend -Which is the mightier: in his lawless fit, -Behind the arras hearing something stir, -Whips out his rapier, cries, 'A rat, a rat!' -And, in this brainish apprehension, kills -The unseen good old man. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -O heavy deed! -It had been so with us, had we been there: -His liberty is full of threats to all; -To you yourself, to us, to every one. -Alas, how shall this bloody deed be answer'd? -It will be laid to us, whose providence -Should have kept short, restrain'd and out of haunt, -This mad young man: but so much was our love, -We would not understand what was most fit; -But, like the owner of a foul disease, -To keep it from divulging, let it feed -Even on the pith of Life. Where is he gone? - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -To draw apart the body he hath kill'd: -O'er whom his very madness, like some ore -Among a mineral of metals base, -Shows itself pure; he weeps for what is done. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -O Gertrude, come away! -The sun no sooner shall the mountains touch, -But we will ship him hence: and this vile deed -We must, with all our majesty and skill, -Both countenance and excuse. Ho, Guildenstern! -Re-enter ROSENCRANTZ and GUILDENSTERN -Friends both, go join you with some further aid: -Hamlet in madness hath Polonius slain, -And from his mother's closet hath he dragg'd him: -Go seek him out; speak fair, and bring the body -Into the chapel. I pray you, haste in this. -Exeunt ROSENCRANTZ and GUILDENSTERN -Come, Gertrude, we'll call up our wisest friends; -And let them know, both what we mean to do, -And what's untimely done... -Whose whisper o'er the world's diameter, -As level as the cannon to his blank, -Transports his poison'd shot, may miss our name, -And hit the woundless air. O, come away! -My soul is full of discord and dismay. - - -Exeunt - - -SCENE II. Another room in the castle. -Enter HAMLET - - -HAMLET -Safely stowed. - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -GUILDENSTERN -Within Hamlet! Lord Hamlet! - - - -HAMLET -What noise? who calls on Hamlet? -O, here they come. - - -Enter ROSENCRANTZ and GUILDENSTERN - - -ROSENCRANTZ -What have you done, my lord, with the dead body? - - - -HAMLET -Compounded it with dust, whereto 'tis kin. - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -Tell us where 'tis, that we may take it thence -And bear it to the chapel. - - - -HAMLET -Do not believe it. - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -Believe what? - - - -HAMLET -That I can keep your counsel and not mine own. -Besides, to be demanded of a sponge! what -replication should be made by the son of a king? - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -Take you me for a sponge, my lord? - - - -HAMLET -Ay, sir, that soaks up the king's countenance, his -rewards, his authorities. But such officers do the -king best service in the end: he keeps them, like -an ape, in the corner of his jaw; first mouthed, to -be last swallowed: when he needs what you have -gleaned, it is but squeezing you, and, sponge, you -shall be dry again. - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -I understand you not, my lord. - - - -HAMLET -I am glad of it: a knavish speech sleeps in a -foolish ear. - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -My lord, you must tell us where the body is, and go -with us to the king. - - - -HAMLET -The body is with the king, but the king is not with -the body. The king is a thing-- - - - -GUILDENSTERN -A thing, my lord! - - - -HAMLET -Of nothing: bring me to him. Hide fox, and all after. - - -Exeunt - - -SCENE III. Another room in the castle. -Enter KING CLAUDIUS, attended - - -KING CLAUDIUS -I have sent to seek him, and to find the body. -How dangerous is it that this man goes loose! -Yet must not we put the strong law on him: -He's loved of the distracted multitude, -Who like not in their judgment, but their eyes; -And where tis so, the offender's scourge is weigh'd, -But never the offence. To bear all smooth and even, -This sudden sending him away must seem -Deliberate pause: diseases desperate grown -By desperate appliance are relieved, -Or not at all. -Enter ROSENCRANTZ -How now! what hath befall'n? - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -Where the dead body is bestow'd, my lord, -We cannot get from him. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -But where is he? - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -Without, my lord; guarded, to know your pleasure. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Bring him before us. - - - -ROSENCRANTZ -Ho, Guildenstern! bring in my lord. - - -Enter HAMLET and GUILDENSTERN - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Now, Hamlet, where's Polonius? - - - -HAMLET -At supper. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -At supper! where? - - - -HAMLET -Not where he eats, but where he is eaten: a certain -convocation of politic worms are e'en at him. Your -worm is your only emperor for diet: we fat all -creatures else to fat us, and we fat ourselves for -maggots: your fat king and your lean beggar is but -variable service, two dishes, but to one table: -that's the end. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Alas, alas! - - - -HAMLET -A man may fish with the worm that hath eat of a -king, and cat of the fish that hath fed of that worm. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -What dost you mean by this? - - - -HAMLET -Nothing but to show you how a king may go a -progress through the guts of a beggar. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Where is Polonius? - - - -HAMLET -In heaven; send hither to see: if your messenger -find him not there, seek him i' the other place -yourself. But indeed, if you find him not within -this month, you shall nose him as you go up the -stairs into the lobby. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Go seek him there. - - -To some Attendants - - -HAMLET -He will stay till ye come. - - -Exeunt Attendants - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Hamlet, this deed, for thine especial safety,-- -Which we do tender, as we dearly grieve -For that which thou hast done,--must send thee hence -With fiery quickness: therefore prepare thyself; -The bark is ready, and the wind at help, -The associates tend, and every thing is bent -For England. - - - -HAMLET -For England! - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Ay, Hamlet. - - - -HAMLET -Good. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -So is it, if thou knew'st our purposes. - - - -HAMLET -I see a cherub that sees them. But, come; for -England! Farewell, dear mother. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Thy loving father, Hamlet. - - - -HAMLET -My mother: father and mother is man and wife; man -and wife is one flesh; and so, my mother. Come, for England! - - -Exit - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Follow him at foot; tempt him with speed aboard; -Delay it not; I'll have him hence to-night: -Away! for every thing is seal'd and done -That else leans on the affair: pray you, make haste. -Exeunt ROSENCRANTZ and GUILDENSTERN -And, England, if my love thou hold'st at aught-- -As my great power thereof may give thee sense, -Since yet thy cicatrice looks raw and red -After the Danish sword, and thy free awe -Pays homage to us--thou mayst not coldly set -Our sovereign process; which imports at full, -By letters congruing to that effect, -The present death of Hamlet. Do it, England; -For like the hectic in my blood he rages, -And thou must cure me: till I know 'tis done, -Howe'er my haps, my joys were ne'er begun. - - -Exit - - -SCENE IV. A plain in Denmark. -Enter FORTINBRAS, a Captain, and Soldiers, marching - - -PRINCE FORTINBRAS -Go, captain, from me greet the Danish king; -Tell him that, by his licence, Fortinbras -Craves the conveyance of a promised march -Over his kingdom. You know the rendezvous. -If that his majesty would aught with us, -We shall express our duty in his eye; -And let him know so. - - - -Captain -I will do't, my lord. - - - -PRINCE FORTINBRAS -Go softly on. - - -Exeunt FORTINBRAS and Soldiers -Enter HAMLET, ROSENCRANTZ, GUILDENSTERN, and others - - -HAMLET -Good sir, whose powers are these? - - - -Captain -They are of Norway, sir. - - - -HAMLET -How purposed, sir, I pray you? - - - -Captain -Against some part of Poland. - - - -HAMLET -Who commands them, sir? - - - -Captain -The nephews to old Norway, Fortinbras. - - - -HAMLET -Goes it against the main of Poland, sir, -Or for some frontier? - - - -Captain -Truly to speak, and with no addition, -We go to gain a little patch of ground -That hath in it no profit but the name. -To pay five ducats, five, I would not farm it; -Nor will it yield to Norway or the Pole -A ranker rate, should it be sold in fee. - - - -HAMLET -Why, then the Polack never will defend it. - - - -Captain -Yes, it is already garrison'd. - - - -HAMLET -Two thousand souls and twenty thousand ducats -Will not debate the question of this straw: -This is the imposthume of much wealth and peace, -That inward breaks, and shows no cause without -Why the man dies. I humbly thank you, sir. - - - -Captain -God be wi' you, sir. - - -Exit - - -ROSENCRANTZ -Wilt please you go, my lord? - - - -HAMLET -I'll be with you straight go a little before. -Exeunt all except HAMLET -How all occasions do inform against me, -And spur my dull revenge! What is a man, -If his chief good and market of his time -Be but to sleep and feed? a beast, no more. -Sure, he that made us with such large discourse, -Looking before and after, gave us not -That capability and god-like reason -To fust in us unused. Now, whether it be -Bestial oblivion, or some craven scruple -Of thinking too precisely on the event, -A thought which, quarter'd, hath but one part wisdom -And ever three parts coward, I do not know -Why yet I live to say 'This thing's to do;' -Sith I have cause and will and strength and means -To do't. Examples gross as earth exhort me: -Witness this army of such mass and charge -Led by a delicate and tender prince, -Whose spirit with divine ambition puff'd -Makes mouths at the invisible event, -Exposing what is mortal and unsure -To all that fortune, death and danger dare, -Even for an egg-shell. Rightly to be great -Is not to stir without great argument, -But greatly to find quarrel in a straw -When honour's at the stake. How stand I then, -That have a father kill'd, a mother stain'd, -Excitements of my reason and my blood, -And let all sleep? while, to my shame, I see -The imminent death of twenty thousand men, -That, for a fantasy and trick of fame, -Go to their graves like beds, fight for a plot -Whereon the numbers cannot try the cause, -Which is not tomb enough and continent -To hide the slain? O, from this time forth, -My thoughts be bloody, or be nothing worth! - - -Exit - - -SCENE V. Elsinore. A room in the castle. -Enter QUEEN GERTRUDE, HORATIO, and a Gentleman - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -I will not speak with her. - - - -Gentleman -She is importunate, indeed distract: -Her mood will needs be pitied. - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -What would she have? - - - -Gentleman -She speaks much of her father; says she hears -There's tricks i' the world; and hems, and beats her heart; -Spurns enviously at straws; speaks things in doubt, -That carry but half sense: her speech is nothing, -Yet the unshaped use of it doth move -The hearers to collection; they aim at it, -And botch the words up fit to their own thoughts; -Which, as her winks, and nods, and gestures -yield them, -Indeed would make one think there might be thought, -Though nothing sure, yet much unhappily. - - - -HORATIO -'Twere good she were spoken with; for she may strew -Dangerous conjectures in ill-breeding minds. - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -Let her come in. -Exit HORATIO -To my sick soul, as sin's true nature is, -Each toy seems prologue to some great amiss: -So full of artless jealousy is guilt, -It spills itself in fearing to be spilt. - - -Re-enter HORATIO, with OPHELIA - - -OPHELIA -Where is the beauteous majesty of Denmark? - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -How now, Ophelia! - - - -OPHELIA -Sings -How should I your true love know -From another one? -By his cockle hat and staff, -And his sandal shoon. - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -Alas, sweet lady, what imports this song? - - - -OPHELIA -Say you? nay, pray you, mark. -Sings -He is dead and gone, lady, -He is dead and gone; -At his head a grass-green turf, -At his heels a stone. - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -Nay, but, Ophelia,-- - - - -OPHELIA -Pray you, mark. -Sings -White his shroud as the mountain snow,-- - - -Enter KING CLAUDIUS - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -Alas, look here, my lord. - - - -OPHELIA -Sings -Larded with sweet flowers -Which bewept to the grave did go -With true-love showers. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -How do you, pretty lady? - - - -OPHELIA -Well, God 'ild you! They say the owl was a baker's -daughter. Lord, we know what we are, but know not -what we may be. God be at your table! - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Conceit upon her father. - - - -OPHELIA -Pray you, let's have no words of this; but when they -ask you what it means, say you this: -Sings -To-morrow is Saint Valentine's day, -All in the morning betime, -And I a maid at your window, -To be your Valentine. -Then up he rose, and donn'd his clothes, -And dupp'd the chamber-door; -Let in the maid, that out a maid -Never departed more. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Pretty Ophelia! - - - -OPHELIA -Indeed, la, without an oath, I'll make an end on't: -Sings -By Gis and by Saint Charity, -Alack, and fie for shame! -Young men will do't, if they come to't; -By cock, they are to blame. -Quoth she, before you tumbled me, -You promised me to wed. -So would I ha' done, by yonder sun, -An thou hadst not come to my bed. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -How long hath she been thus? - - - -OPHELIA -I hope all will be well. We must be patient: but I -cannot choose but weep, to think they should lay him -i' the cold ground. My brother shall know of it: -and so I thank you for your good counsel. Come, my -coach! Good night, ladies; good night, sweet ladies; -good night, good night. - - -Exit - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Follow her close; give her good watch, -I pray you. -Exit HORATIO -O, this is the poison of deep grief; it springs -All from her father's death. O Gertrude, Gertrude, -When sorrows come, they come not single spies -But in battalions. First, her father slain: -Next, your son gone; and he most violent author -Of his own just remove: the people muddied, -Thick and unwholesome in their thoughts and whispers, -For good Polonius' death; and we have done but greenly, -In hugger-mugger to inter him: poor Ophelia -Divided from herself and her fair judgment, -Without the which we are pictures, or mere beasts: -Last, and as much containing as all these, -Her brother is in secret come from France; -Feeds on his wonder, keeps himself in clouds, -And wants not buzzers to infect his ear -With pestilent speeches of his father's death; -Wherein necessity, of matter beggar'd, -Will nothing stick our person to arraign -In ear and ear. O my dear Gertrude, this, -Like to a murdering-piece, in many places -Gives me superfluous death. - - -A noise within - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -Alack, what noise is this? - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Where are my Switzers? Let them guard the door. -Enter another Gentleman -What is the matter? - - - -Gentleman -Save yourself, my lord: -The ocean, overpeering of his list, -Eats not the flats with more impetuous haste -Than young Laertes, in a riotous head, -O'erbears your officers. The rabble call him lord; -And, as the world were now but to begin, -Antiquity forgot, custom not known, -The ratifiers and props of every word, -They cry 'Choose we: Laertes shall be king:' -Caps, hands, and tongues, applaud it to the clouds: -'Laertes shall be king, Laertes king!' - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -How cheerfully on the false trail they cry! -O, this is counter, you false Danish dogs! - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -The doors are broke. - - -Noise within -Enter LAERTES, armed; Danes following - - -LAERTES -Where is this king? Sirs, stand you all without. - - - -Danes -No, let's come in. - - - -LAERTES -I pray you, give me leave. - - - -Danes -We will, we will. - - -They retire without the door - - -LAERTES -I thank you: keep the door. O thou vile king, -Give me my father! - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -Calmly, good Laertes. - - - -LAERTES -That drop of blood that's calm proclaims me bastard, -Cries cuckold to my father, brands the harlot -Even here, between the chaste unsmirched brow -Of my true mother. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -What is the cause, Laertes, -That thy rebellion looks so giant-like? -Let him go, Gertrude; do not fear our person: -There's such divinity doth hedge a king, -That treason can but peep to what it would, -Acts little of his will. Tell me, Laertes, -Why thou art thus incensed. Let him go, Gertrude. -Speak, man. - - - -LAERTES -Where is my father? - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Dead. - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -But not by him. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Let him demand his fill. - - - -LAERTES -How came he dead? I'll not be juggled with: -To hell, allegiance! vows, to the blackest devil! -Conscience and grace, to the profoundest pit! -I dare damnation. To this point I stand, -That both the worlds I give to negligence, -Let come what comes; only I'll be revenged -Most thoroughly for my father. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Who shall stay you? - - - -LAERTES -My will, not all the world: -And for my means, I'll husband them so well, -They shall go far with little. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Good Laertes, -If you desire to know the certainty -Of your dear father's death, is't writ in your revenge, -That, swoopstake, you will draw both friend and foe, -Winner and loser? - - - -LAERTES -None but his enemies. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Will you know them then? - - - -LAERTES -To his good friends thus wide I'll ope my arms; -And like the kind life-rendering pelican, -Repast them with my blood. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Why, now you speak -Like a good child and a true gentleman. -That I am guiltless of your father's death, -And am most sensible in grief for it, -It shall as level to your judgment pierce -As day does to your eye. - - - -Danes -Within Let her come in. - - - -LAERTES -How now! what noise is that? -Re-enter OPHELIA -O heat, dry up my brains! tears seven times salt, -Burn out the sense and virtue of mine eye! -By heaven, thy madness shall be paid by weight, -Till our scale turn the beam. O rose of May! -Dear maid, kind sister, sweet Ophelia! -O heavens! is't possible, a young maid's wits -Should be as moral as an old man's life? -Nature is fine in love, and where 'tis fine, -It sends some precious instance of itself -After the thing it loves. - - - -OPHELIA -Sings -They bore him barefaced on the bier; -Hey non nonny, nonny, hey nonny; -And in his grave rain'd many a tear:-- -Fare you well, my dove! - - - -LAERTES -Hadst thou thy wits, and didst persuade revenge, -It could not move thus. - - - -OPHELIA -Sings -You must sing a-down a-down, -An you call him a-down-a. -O, how the wheel becomes it! It is the false -steward, that stole his master's daughter. - - - -LAERTES -This nothing's more than matter. - - - -OPHELIA -There's rosemary, that's for remembrance; pray, -love, remember: and there is pansies. that's for thoughts. - - - -LAERTES -A document in madness, thoughts and remembrance fitted. - - - -OPHELIA -There's fennel for you, and columbines: there's rue -for you; and here's some for me: we may call it -herb-grace o' Sundays: O you must wear your rue with -a difference. There's a daisy: I would give you -some violets, but they withered all when my father -died: they say he made a good end,-- -Sings -For bonny sweet Robin is all my joy. - - - -LAERTES -Thought and affliction, passion, hell itself, -She turns to favour and to prettiness. - - - -OPHELIA -Sings -And will he not come again? -And will he not come again? -No, no, he is dead: -Go to thy death-bed: -He never will come again. -His beard was as white as snow, -All flaxen was his poll: -He is gone, he is gone, -And we cast away moan: -God ha' mercy on his soul! -And of all Christian souls, I pray God. God be wi' ye. - - -Exit - - -LAERTES -Do you see this, O God? - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Laertes, I must commune with your grief, -Or you deny me right. Go but apart, -Make choice of whom your wisest friends you will. -And they shall hear and judge 'twixt you and me: -If by direct or by collateral hand -They find us touch'd, we will our kingdom give, -Our crown, our life, and all that we can ours, -To you in satisfaction; but if not, -Be you content to lend your patience to us, -And we shall jointly labour with your soul -To give it due content. - - - -LAERTES -Let this be so; -His means of death, his obscure funeral-- -No trophy, sword, nor hatchment o'er his bones, -No noble rite nor formal ostentation-- -Cry to be heard, as 'twere from heaven to earth, -That I must call't in question. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -So you shall; -And where the offence is let the great axe fall. -I pray you, go with me. - - -Exeunt - - -SCENE VI. Another room in the castle. -Enter HORATIO and a Servant - - -HORATIO -What are they that would speak with me? - - - -Servant -Sailors, sir: they say they have letters for you. - - - -HORATIO -Let them come in. -Exit Servant -I do not know from what part of the world -I should be greeted, if not from Lord Hamlet. - - -Enter Sailors - - -First Sailor -God bless you, sir. - - - -HORATIO -Let him bless thee too. - - - -First Sailor -He shall, sir, an't please him. There's a letter for -you, sir; it comes from the ambassador that was -bound for England; if your name be Horatio, as I am -let to know it is. - - - -HORATIO -Reads 'Horatio, when thou shalt have overlooked -this, give these fellows some means to the king: -they have letters for him. Ere we were two days old -at sea, a pirate of very warlike appointment gave us -chase. Finding ourselves too slow of sail, we put on -a compelled valour, and in the grapple I boarded -them: on the instant they got clear of our ship; so -I alone became their prisoner. They have dealt with -me like thieves of mercy: but they knew what they -did; I am to do a good turn for them. Let the king -have the letters I have sent; and repair thou to me -with as much speed as thou wouldst fly death. I -have words to speak in thine ear will make thee -dumb; yet are they much too light for the bore of -the matter. These good fellows will bring thee -where I am. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern hold their -course for England: of them I have much to tell -thee. Farewell. -'He that thou knowest thine, HAMLET.' -Come, I will make you way for these your letters; -And do't the speedier, that you may direct me -To him from whom you brought them. - - -Exeunt - - -SCENE VII. Another room in the castle. -Enter KING CLAUDIUS and LAERTES - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Now must your conscience my acquaintance seal, -And you must put me in your heart for friend, -Sith you have heard, and with a knowing ear, -That he which hath your noble father slain -Pursued my life. - - - -LAERTES -It well appears: but tell me -Why you proceeded not against these feats, -So crimeful and so capital in nature, -As by your safety, wisdom, all things else, -You mainly were stirr'd up. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -O, for two special reasons; -Which may to you, perhaps, seem much unsinew'd, -But yet to me they are strong. The queen his mother -Lives almost by his looks; and for myself-- -My virtue or my plague, be it either which-- -She's so conjunctive to my life and soul, -That, as the star moves not but in his sphere, -I could not but by her. The other motive, -Why to a public count I might not go, -Is the great love the general gender bear him; -Who, dipping all his faults in their affection, -Would, like the spring that turneth wood to stone, -Convert his gyves to graces; so that my arrows, -Too slightly timber'd for so loud a wind, -Would have reverted to my bow again, -And not where I had aim'd them. - - - -LAERTES -And so have I a noble father lost; -A sister driven into desperate terms, -Whose worth, if praises may go back again, -Stood challenger on mount of all the age -For her perfections: but my revenge will come. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Break not your sleeps for that: you must not think -That we are made of stuff so flat and dull -That we can let our beard be shook with danger -And think it pastime. You shortly shall hear more: -I loved your father, and we love ourself; -And that, I hope, will teach you to imagine-- -Enter a Messenger -How now! what news? - - - -Messenger -Letters, my lord, from Hamlet: -This to your majesty; this to the queen. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -From Hamlet! who brought them? - - - -Messenger -Sailors, my lord, they say; I saw them not: -They were given me by Claudio; he received them -Of him that brought them. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Laertes, you shall hear them. Leave us. -Exit Messenger -Reads -'High and mighty, You shall know I am set naked on -your kingdom. To-morrow shall I beg leave to see -your kingly eyes: when I shall, first asking your -pardon thereunto, recount the occasion of my sudden -and more strange return. 'HAMLET.' -What should this mean? Are all the rest come back? -Or is it some abuse, and no such thing? - - - -LAERTES -Know you the hand? - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -'Tis Hamlets character. 'Naked! -And in a postscript here, he says 'alone.' -Can you advise me? - - - -LAERTES -I'm lost in it, my lord. But let him come; -It warms the very sickness in my heart, -That I shall live and tell him to his teeth, -'Thus didest thou.' - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -If it be so, Laertes-- -As how should it be so? how otherwise?-- -Will you be ruled by me? - - - -LAERTES -Ay, my lord; -So you will not o'errule me to a peace. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -To thine own peace. If he be now return'd, -As checking at his voyage, and that he means -No more to undertake it, I will work him -To an exploit, now ripe in my device, -Under the which he shall not choose but fall: -And for his death no wind of blame shall breathe, -But even his mother shall uncharge the practise -And call it accident. - - - -LAERTES -My lord, I will be ruled; -The rather, if you could devise it so -That I might be the organ. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -It falls right. -You have been talk'd of since your travel much, -And that in Hamlet's hearing, for a quality -Wherein, they say, you shine: your sum of parts -Did not together pluck such envy from him -As did that one, and that, in my regard, -Of the unworthiest siege. - - - -LAERTES -What part is that, my lord? - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -A very riband in the cap of youth, -Yet needful too; for youth no less becomes -The light and careless livery that it wears -Than settled age his sables and his weeds, -Importing health and graveness. Two months since, -Here was a gentleman of Normandy:-- -I've seen myself, and served against, the French, -And they can well on horseback: but this gallant -Had witchcraft in't; he grew unto his seat; -And to such wondrous doing brought his horse, -As he had been incorpsed and demi-natured -With the brave beast: so far he topp'd my thought, -That I, in forgery of shapes and tricks, -Come short of what he did. - - - -LAERTES -A Norman was't? - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -A Norman. - - - -LAERTES -Upon my life, Lamond. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -The very same. - - - -LAERTES -I know him well: he is the brooch indeed -And gem of all the nation. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -He made confession of you, -And gave you such a masterly report -For art and exercise in your defence -And for your rapier most especially, -That he cried out, 'twould be a sight indeed, -If one could match you: the scrimers of their nation, -He swore, had had neither motion, guard, nor eye, -If you opposed them. Sir, this report of his -Did Hamlet so envenom with his envy -That he could nothing do but wish and beg -Your sudden coming o'er, to play with him. -Now, out of this,-- - - - -LAERTES -What out of this, my lord? - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Laertes, was your father dear to you? -Or are you like the painting of a sorrow, -A face without a heart? - - - -LAERTES -Why ask you this? - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Not that I think you did not love your father; -But that I know love is begun by time; -And that I see, in passages of proof, -Time qualifies the spark and fire of it. -There lives within the very flame of love -A kind of wick or snuff that will abate it; -And nothing is at a like goodness still; -For goodness, growing to a plurisy, -Dies in his own too much: that we would do -We should do when we would; for this 'would' changes -And hath abatements and delays as many -As there are tongues, are hands, are accidents; -And then this 'should' is like a spendthrift sigh, -That hurts by easing. But, to the quick o' the ulcer:-- -Hamlet comes back: what would you undertake, -To show yourself your father's son in deed -More than in words? - - - -LAERTES -To cut his throat i' the church. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -No place, indeed, should murder sanctuarize; -Revenge should have no bounds. But, good Laertes, -Will you do this, keep close within your chamber. -Hamlet return'd shall know you are come home: -We'll put on those shall praise your excellence -And set a double varnish on the fame -The Frenchman gave you, bring you in fine together -And wager on your heads: he, being remiss, -Most generous and free from all contriving, -Will not peruse the foils; so that, with ease, -Or with a little shuffling, you may choose -A sword unbated, and in a pass of practise -Requite him for your father. - - - -LAERTES -I will do't: -And, for that purpose, I'll anoint my sword. -I bought an unction of a mountebank, -So mortal that, but dip a knife in it, -Where it draws blood no cataplasm so rare, -Collected from all simples that have virtue -Under the moon, can save the thing from death -That is but scratch'd withal: I'll touch my point -With this contagion, that, if I gall him slightly, -It may be death. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Let's further think of this; -Weigh what convenience both of time and means -May fit us to our shape: if this should fail, -And that our drift look through our bad performance, -'Twere better not assay'd: therefore this project -Should have a back or second, that might hold, -If this should blast in proof. Soft! let me see: -We'll make a solemn wager on your cunnings: I ha't. -When in your motion you are hot and dry-- -As make your bouts more violent to that end-- -And that he calls for drink, I'll have prepared him -A chalice for the nonce, whereon but sipping, -If he by chance escape your venom'd stuck, -Our purpose may hold there. -Enter QUEEN GERTRUDE -How now, sweet queen! - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -One woe doth tread upon another's heel, -So fast they follow; your sister's drown'd, Laertes. - - - -LAERTES -Drown'd! O, where? - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -There is a willow grows aslant a brook, -That shows his hoar leaves in the glassy stream; -There with fantastic garlands did she come -Of crow-flowers, nettles, daisies, and long purples -That liberal shepherds give a grosser name, -But our cold maids do dead men's fingers call them: -There, on the pendent boughs her coronet weeds -Clambering to hang, an envious sliver broke; -When down her weedy trophies and herself -Fell in the weeping brook. Her clothes spread wide; -And, mermaid-like, awhile they bore her up: -Which time she chanted snatches of old tunes; -As one incapable of her own distress, -Or like a creature native and indued -Unto that element: but long it could not be -Till that her garments, heavy with their drink, -Pull'd the poor wretch from her melodious lay -To muddy death. - - - -LAERTES -Alas, then, she is drown'd? - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -Drown'd, drown'd. - - - -LAERTES -Too much of water hast thou, poor Ophelia, -And therefore I forbid my tears: but yet -It is our trick; nature her custom holds, -Let shame say what it will: when these are gone, -The woman will be out. Adieu, my lord: -I have a speech of fire, that fain would blaze, -But that this folly douts it. - - -Exit - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Let's follow, Gertrude: -How much I had to do to calm his rage! -Now fear I this will give it start again; -Therefore let's follow. - - -Exeunt - - - - -ACT V - -SCENE I. A churchyard. -Enter two Clowns, with spades, &c - - -First Clown -Is she to be buried in Christian burial that -wilfully seeks her own salvation? - - - -Second Clown -I tell thee she is: and therefore make her grave -straight: the crowner hath sat on her, and finds it -Christian burial. - - - -First Clown -How can that be, unless she drowned herself in her -own defence? - - - -Second Clown -Why, 'tis found so. - - - -First Clown -It must be 'se offendendo;' it cannot be else. For -here lies the point: if I drown myself wittingly, -it argues an act: and an act hath three branches: it -is, to act, to do, to perform: argal, she drowned -herself wittingly. - - - -Second Clown -Nay, but hear you, goodman delver,-- - - - -First Clown -Give me leave. Here lies the water; good: here -stands the man; good; if the man go to this water, -and drown himself, it is, will he, nill he, he -goes,--mark you that; but if the water come to him -and drown him, he drowns not himself: argal, he -that is not guilty of his own death shortens not his own life. - - - -Second Clown -But is this law? - - - -First Clown -Ay, marry, is't; crowner's quest law. - - - -Second Clown -Will you ha' the truth on't? If this had not been -a gentlewoman, she should have been buried out o' -Christian burial. - - - -First Clown -Why, there thou say'st: and the more pity that -great folk should have countenance in this world to -drown or hang themselves, more than their even -Christian. Come, my spade. There is no ancient -gentleman but gardeners, ditchers, and grave-makers: -they hold up Adam's profession. - - - -Second Clown -Was he a gentleman? - - - -First Clown -He was the first that ever bore arms. - - - -Second Clown -Why, he had none. - - - -First Clown -What, art a heathen? How dost thou understand the -Scripture? The Scripture says 'Adam digged:' -could he dig without arms? I'll put another -question to thee: if thou answerest me not to the -purpose, confess thyself-- - - - -Second Clown -Go to. - - - -First Clown -What is he that builds stronger than either the -mason, the shipwright, or the carpenter? - - - -Second Clown -The gallows-maker; for that frame outlives a -thousand tenants. - - - -First Clown -I like thy wit well, in good faith: the gallows -does well; but how does it well? it does well to -those that do in: now thou dost ill to say the -gallows is built stronger than the church: argal, -the gallows may do well to thee. To't again, come. - - - -Second Clown -'Who builds stronger than a mason, a shipwright, or -a carpenter?' - - - -First Clown -Ay, tell me that, and unyoke. - - - -Second Clown -Marry, now I can tell. - - - -First Clown -To't. - - - -Second Clown -Mass, I cannot tell. - - -Enter HAMLET and HORATIO, at a distance - - -First Clown -Cudgel thy brains no more about it, for your dull -ass will not mend his pace with beating; and, when -you are asked this question next, say 'a -grave-maker: 'the houses that he makes last till -doomsday. Go, get thee to Yaughan: fetch me a -stoup of liquor. -Exit Second Clown -He digs and sings -In youth, when I did love, did love, -Methought it was very sweet, -To contract, O, the time, for, ah, my behove, -O, methought, there was nothing meet. - - - -HAMLET -Has this fellow no feeling of his business, that he -sings at grave-making? - - - -HORATIO -Custom hath made it in him a property of easiness. - - - -HAMLET -'Tis e'en so: the hand of little employment hath -the daintier sense. - - - -First Clown -Sings -But age, with his stealing steps, -Hath claw'd me in his clutch, -And hath shipped me intil the land, -As if I had never been such. - - -Throws up a skull - - -HAMLET -That skull had a tongue in it, and could sing once: -how the knave jowls it to the ground, as if it were -Cain's jaw-bone, that did the first murder! It -might be the pate of a politician, which this ass -now o'er-reaches; one that would circumvent God, -might it not? - - - -HORATIO -It might, my lord. - - - -HAMLET -Or of a courtier; which could say 'Good morrow, -sweet lord! How dost thou, good lord?' This might -be my lord such-a-one, that praised my lord -such-a-one's horse, when he meant to beg it; might it not? - - - -HORATIO -Ay, my lord. - - - -HAMLET -Why, e'en so: and now my Lady Worm's; chapless, and -knocked about the mazzard with a sexton's spade: -here's fine revolution, an we had the trick to -see't. Did these bones cost no more the breeding, -but to play at loggats with 'em? mine ache to think on't. - - - -First Clown -Sings -A pick-axe, and a spade, a spade, -For and a shrouding sheet: -O, a pit of clay for to be made -For such a guest is meet. - - -Throws up another skull - - -HAMLET -There's another: why may not that be the skull of a -lawyer? Where be his quiddities now, his quillets, -his cases, his tenures, and his tricks? why does he -suffer this rude knave now to knock him about the -sconce with a dirty shovel, and will not tell him of -his action of battery? Hum! This fellow might be -in's time a great buyer of land, with his statutes, -his recognizances, his fines, his double vouchers, -his recoveries: is this the fine of his fines, and -the recovery of his recoveries, to have his fine -pate full of fine dirt? will his vouchers vouch him -no more of his purchases, and double ones too, than -the length and breadth of a pair of indentures? The -very conveyances of his lands will hardly lie in -this box; and must the inheritor himself have no more, ha? - - - -HORATIO -Not a jot more, my lord. - - - -HAMLET -Is not parchment made of sheepskins? - - - -HORATIO -Ay, my lord, and of calf-skins too. - - - -HAMLET -They are sheep and calves which seek out assurance -in that. I will speak to this fellow. Whose -grave's this, sirrah? - - - -First Clown -Mine, sir. -Sings -O, a pit of clay for to be made -For such a guest is meet. - - - -HAMLET -I think it be thine, indeed; for thou liest in't. - - - -First Clown -You lie out on't, sir, and therefore it is not -yours: for my part, I do not lie in't, and yet it is mine. - - - -HAMLET -'Thou dost lie in't, to be in't and say it is thine: -'tis for the dead, not for the quick; therefore thou liest. - - - -First Clown -'Tis a quick lie, sir; 'twill away gain, from me to -you. - - - -HAMLET -What man dost thou dig it for? - - - -First Clown -For no man, sir. - - - -HAMLET -What woman, then? - - - -First Clown -For none, neither. - - - -HAMLET -Who is to be buried in't? - - - -First Clown -One that was a woman, sir; but, rest her soul, she's dead. - - - -HAMLET -How absolute the knave is! we must speak by the -card, or equivocation will undo us. By the Lord, -Horatio, these three years I have taken a note of -it; the age is grown so picked that the toe of the -peasant comes so near the heel of the courtier, he -gaffs his kibe. How long hast thou been a -grave-maker? - - - -First Clown -Of all the days i' the year, I came to't that day -that our last king Hamlet overcame Fortinbras. - - - -HAMLET -How long is that since? - - - -First Clown -Cannot you tell that? every fool can tell that: it -was the very day that young Hamlet was born; he that -is mad, and sent into England. - - - -HAMLET -Ay, marry, why was he sent into England? - - - -First Clown -Why, because he was mad: he shall recover his wits -there; or, if he do not, it's no great matter there. - - - -HAMLET -Why? - - - -First Clown -'Twill, a not be seen in him there; there the men -are as mad as he. - - - -HAMLET -How came he mad? - - - -First Clown -Very strangely, they say. - - - -HAMLET -How strangely? - - - -First Clown -Faith, e'en with losing his wits. - - - -HAMLET -Upon what ground? - - - -First Clown -Why, here in Denmark: I have been sexton here, man -and boy, thirty years. - - - -HAMLET -How long will a man lie i' the earth ere he rot? - - - -First Clown -I' faith, if he be not rotten before he die--as we -have many pocky corses now-a-days, that will scarce -hold the laying in--he will last you some eight year -or nine year: a tanner will last you nine year. - - - -HAMLET -Why he more than another? - - - -First Clown -Why, sir, his hide is so tanned with his trade, that -he will keep out water a great while; and your water -is a sore decayer of your whoreson dead body. -Here's a skull now; this skull has lain in the earth -three and twenty years. - - - -HAMLET -Whose was it? - - - -First Clown -A whoreson mad fellow's it was: whose do you think it was? - - - -HAMLET -Nay, I know not. - - - -First Clown -A pestilence on him for a mad rogue! a' poured a -flagon of Rhenish on my head once. This same skull, -sir, was Yorick's skull, the king's jester. - - - -HAMLET -This? - - - -First Clown -E'en that. - - - -HAMLET -Let me see. -Takes the skull -Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio: a fellow -of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy: he hath -borne me on his back a thousand times; and now, how -abhorred in my imagination it is! my gorge rims at -it. Here hung those lips that I have kissed I know -not how oft. Where be your gibes now? your -gambols? your songs? your flashes of merriment, -that were wont to set the table on a roar? Not one -now, to mock your own grinning? quite chap-fallen? -Now get you to my lady's chamber, and tell her, let -her paint an inch thick, to this favour she must -come; make her laugh at that. Prithee, Horatio, tell -me one thing. - - - -HORATIO -What's that, my lord? - - - -HAMLET -Dost thou think Alexander looked o' this fashion i' -the earth? - - - -HORATIO -E'en so. - - - -HAMLET -And smelt so? pah! - - -Puts down the skull - - -HORATIO -E'en so, my lord. - - - -HAMLET -To what base uses we may return, Horatio! Why may -not imagination trace the noble dust of Alexander, -till he find it stopping a bung-hole? - - - -HORATIO -'Twere to consider too curiously, to consider so. - - - -HAMLET -No, faith, not a jot; but to follow him thither with -modesty enough, and likelihood to lead it: as -thus: Alexander died, Alexander was buried, -Alexander returneth into dust; the dust is earth; of -earth we make loam; and why of that loam, whereto he -was converted, might they not stop a beer-barrel? -Imperious Caesar, dead and turn'd to clay, -Might stop a hole to keep the wind away: -O, that that earth, which kept the world in awe, -Should patch a wall to expel the winter flaw! -But soft! but soft! aside: here comes the king. -Enter Priest, &c. in procession; the Corpse of -OPHELIA, LAERTES and Mourners following; KING -CLAUDIUS, QUEEN GERTRUDE, their trains, &c -The queen, the courtiers: who is this they follow? -And with such maimed rites? This doth betoken -The corse they follow did with desperate hand -Fordo its own life: 'twas of some estate. -Couch we awhile, and mark. - - -Retiring with HORATIO - - -LAERTES -What ceremony else? - - - -HAMLET -That is Laertes, -A very noble youth: mark. - - - -LAERTES -What ceremony else? - - - -First Priest -Her obsequies have been as far enlarged -As we have warrantise: her death was doubtful; -And, but that great command o'ersways the order, -She should in ground unsanctified have lodged -Till the last trumpet: for charitable prayers, -Shards, flints and pebbles should be thrown on her; -Yet here she is allow'd her virgin crants, -Her maiden strewments and the bringing home -Of bell and burial. - - - -LAERTES -Must there no more be done? - - - -First Priest -No more be done: -We should profane the service of the dead -To sing a requiem and such rest to her -As to peace-parted souls. - - - -LAERTES -Lay her i' the earth: -And from her fair and unpolluted flesh -May violets spring! I tell thee, churlish priest, -A ministering angel shall my sister be, -When thou liest howling. - - - -HAMLET -What, the fair Ophelia! - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -Sweets to the sweet: farewell! -Scattering flowers -I hoped thou shouldst have been my Hamlet's wife; -I thought thy bride-bed to have deck'd, sweet maid, -And not have strew'd thy grave. - - - -LAERTES -O, treble woe -Fall ten times treble on that cursed head, -Whose wicked deed thy most ingenious sense -Deprived thee of! Hold off the earth awhile, -Till I have caught her once more in mine arms: -Leaps into the grave -Now pile your dust upon the quick and dead, -Till of this flat a mountain you have made, -To o'ertop old Pelion, or the skyish head -Of blue Olympus. - - - -HAMLET -Advancing What is he whose grief -Bears such an emphasis? whose phrase of sorrow -Conjures the wandering stars, and makes them stand -Like wonder-wounded hearers? This is I, -Hamlet the Dane. - - -Leaps into the grave - - -LAERTES -The devil take thy soul! - - -Grappling with him - - -HAMLET -Thou pray'st not well. -I prithee, take thy fingers from my throat; -For, though I am not splenitive and rash, -Yet have I something in me dangerous, -Which let thy wiseness fear: hold off thy hand. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Pluck them asunder. - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -Hamlet, Hamlet! - - - -All -Gentlemen,-- - - - -HORATIO -Good my lord, be quiet. - - -The Attendants part them, and they come out of the grave - - -HAMLET -Why I will fight with him upon this theme -Until my eyelids will no longer wag. - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -O my son, what theme? - - - -HAMLET -I loved Ophelia: forty thousand brothers -Could not, with all their quantity of love, -Make up my sum. What wilt thou do for her? - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -O, he is mad, Laertes. - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -For love of God, forbear him. - - - -HAMLET -'Swounds, show me what thou'lt do: -Woo't weep? woo't fight? woo't fast? woo't tear thyself? -Woo't drink up eisel? eat a crocodile? -I'll do't. Dost thou come here to whine? -To outface me with leaping in her grave? -Be buried quick with her, and so will I: -And, if thou prate of mountains, let them throw -Millions of acres on us, till our ground, -Singeing his pate against the burning zone, -Make Ossa like a wart! Nay, an thou'lt mouth, -I'll rant as well as thou. - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -This is mere madness: -And thus awhile the fit will work on him; -Anon, as patient as the female dove, -When that her golden couplets are disclosed, -His silence will sit drooping. - - - -HAMLET -Hear you, sir; -What is the reason that you use me thus? -I loved you ever: but it is no matter; -Let Hercules himself do what he may, -The cat will mew and dog will have his day. - - -Exit - - -KING CLAUDIUS -I pray you, good Horatio, wait upon him. -Exit HORATIO -To LAERTES -Strengthen your patience in our last night's speech; -We'll put the matter to the present push. -Good Gertrude, set some watch over your son. -This grave shall have a living monument: -An hour of quiet shortly shall we see; -Till then, in patience our proceeding be. - - -Exeunt - - -SCENE II. A hall in the castle. -Enter HAMLET and HORATIO - - -HAMLET -So much for this, sir: now shall you see the other; -You do remember all the circumstance? - - - -HORATIO -Remember it, my lord? - - - -HAMLET -Sir, in my heart there was a kind of fighting, -That would not let me sleep: methought I lay -Worse than the mutines in the bilboes. Rashly, -And praised be rashness for it, let us know, -Our indiscretion sometimes serves us well, -When our deep plots do pall: and that should teach us -There's a divinity that shapes our ends, -Rough-hew them how we will,-- - - - -HORATIO -That is most certain. - - - -HAMLET -Up from my cabin, -My sea-gown scarf'd about me, in the dark -Groped I to find out them; had my desire. -Finger'd their packet, and in fine withdrew -To mine own room again; making so bold, -My fears forgetting manners, to unseal -Their grand commission; where I found, Horatio,-- -O royal knavery!--an exact command, -Larded with many several sorts of reasons -Importing Denmark's health and England's too, -With, ho! such bugs and goblins in my life, -That, on the supervise, no leisure bated, -No, not to stay the grinding of the axe, -My head should be struck off. - - - -HORATIO -Is't possible? - - - -HAMLET -Here's the commission: read it at more leisure. -But wilt thou hear me how I did proceed? - - - -HORATIO -I beseech you. - - - -HAMLET -Being thus be-netted round with villanies,-- -Ere I could make a prologue to my brains, -They had begun the play--I sat me down, -Devised a new commission, wrote it fair: -I once did hold it, as our statists do, -A baseness to write fair and labour'd much -How to forget that learning, but, sir, now -It did me yeoman's service: wilt thou know -The effect of what I wrote? - - - -HORATIO -Ay, good my lord. - - - -HAMLET -An earnest conjuration from the king, -As England was his faithful tributary, -As love between them like the palm might flourish, -As peace should stiff her wheaten garland wear -And stand a comma 'tween their amities, -And many such-like 'As'es of great charge, -That, on the view and knowing of these contents, -Without debatement further, more or less, -He should the bearers put to sudden death, -Not shriving-time allow'd. - - - -HORATIO -How was this seal'd? - - - -HAMLET -Why, even in that was heaven ordinant. -I had my father's signet in my purse, -Which was the model of that Danish seal; -Folded the writ up in form of the other, -Subscribed it, gave't the impression, placed it safely, -The changeling never known. Now, the next day -Was our sea-fight; and what to this was sequent -Thou know'st already. - - - -HORATIO -So Guildenstern and Rosencrantz go to't. - - - -HAMLET -Why, man, they did make love to this employment; -They are not near my conscience; their defeat -Does by their own insinuation grow: -'Tis dangerous when the baser nature comes -Between the pass and fell incensed points -Of mighty opposites. - - - -HORATIO -Why, what a king is this! - - - -HAMLET -Does it not, think'st thee, stand me now upon-- -He that hath kill'd my king and whored my mother, -Popp'd in between the election and my hopes, -Thrown out his angle for my proper life, -And with such cozenage--is't not perfect conscience, -To quit him with this arm? and is't not to be damn'd, -To let this canker of our nature come -In further evil? - - - -HORATIO -It must be shortly known to him from England -What is the issue of the business there. - - - -HAMLET -It will be short: the interim is mine; -And a man's life's no more than to say 'One.' -But I am very sorry, good Horatio, -That to Laertes I forgot myself; -For, by the image of my cause, I see -The portraiture of his: I'll court his favours. -But, sure, the bravery of his grief did put me -Into a towering passion. - - - -HORATIO -Peace! who comes here? - - -Enter OSRIC - - -OSRIC -Your lordship is right welcome back to Denmark. - - - -HAMLET -I humbly thank you, sir. Dost know this water-fly? - - - -HORATIO -No, my good lord. - - - -HAMLET -Thy state is the more gracious; for 'tis a vice to -know him. He hath much land, and fertile: let a -beast be lord of beasts, and his crib shall stand at -the king's mess: 'tis a chough; but, as I say, -spacious in the possession of dirt. - - - -OSRIC -Sweet lord, if your lordship were at leisure, I -should impart a thing to you from his majesty. - - - -HAMLET -I will receive it, sir, with all diligence of -spirit. Put your bonnet to his right use; 'tis for the head. - - - -OSRIC -I thank your lordship, it is very hot. - - - -HAMLET -No, believe me, 'tis very cold; the wind is -northerly. - - - -OSRIC -It is indifferent cold, my lord, indeed. - - - -HAMLET -But yet methinks it is very sultry and hot for my -complexion. - - - -OSRIC -Exceedingly, my lord; it is very sultry,--as -'twere,--I cannot tell how. But, my lord, his -majesty bade me signify to you that he has laid a -great wager on your head: sir, this is the matter,-- - - - -HAMLET -I beseech you, remember-- - - -HAMLET moves him to put on his hat - - -OSRIC -Nay, good my lord; for mine ease, in good faith. -Sir, here is newly come to court Laertes; believe -me, an absolute gentleman, full of most excellent -differences, of very soft society and great showing: -indeed, to speak feelingly of him, he is the card or -calendar of gentry, for you shall find in him the -continent of what part a gentleman would see. - - - -HAMLET -Sir, his definement suffers no perdition in you; -though, I know, to divide him inventorially would -dizzy the arithmetic of memory, and yet but yaw -neither, in respect of his quick sail. But, in the -verity of extolment, I take him to be a soul of -great article; and his infusion of such dearth and -rareness, as, to make true diction of him, his -semblable is his mirror; and who else would trace -him, his umbrage, nothing more. - - - -OSRIC -Your lordship speaks most infallibly of him. - - - -HAMLET -The concernancy, sir? why do we wrap the gentleman -in our more rawer breath? - - - -OSRIC -Sir? - - - -HORATIO -Is't not possible to understand in another tongue? -You will do't, sir, really. - - - -HAMLET -What imports the nomination of this gentleman? - - - -OSRIC -Of Laertes? - - - -HORATIO -His purse is empty already; all's golden words are spent. - - - -HAMLET -Of him, sir. - - - -OSRIC -I know you are not ignorant-- - - - -HAMLET -I would you did, sir; yet, in faith, if you did, -it would not much approve me. Well, sir? - - - -OSRIC -You are not ignorant of what excellence Laertes is-- - - - -HAMLET -I dare not confess that, lest I should compare with -him in excellence; but, to know a man well, were to -know himself. - - - -OSRIC -I mean, sir, for his weapon; but in the imputation -laid on him by them, in his meed he's unfellowed. - - - -HAMLET -What's his weapon? - - - -OSRIC -Rapier and dagger. - - - -HAMLET -That's two of his weapons: but, well. - - - -OSRIC -The king, sir, hath wagered with him six Barbary -horses: against the which he has imponed, as I take -it, six French rapiers and poniards, with their -assigns, as girdle, hangers, and so: three of the -carriages, in faith, are very dear to fancy, very -responsive to the hilts, most delicate carriages, -and of very liberal conceit. - - - -HAMLET -What call you the carriages? - - - -HORATIO -I knew you must be edified by the margent ere you had done. - - - -OSRIC -The carriages, sir, are the hangers. - - - -HAMLET -The phrase would be more german to the matter, if we -could carry cannon by our sides: I would it might -be hangers till then. But, on: six Barbary horses -against six French swords, their assigns, and three -liberal-conceited carriages; that's the French bet -against the Danish. Why is this 'imponed,' as you call it? - - - -OSRIC -The king, sir, hath laid, that in a dozen passes -between yourself and him, he shall not exceed you -three hits: he hath laid on twelve for nine; and it -would come to immediate trial, if your lordship -would vouchsafe the answer. - - - -HAMLET -How if I answer 'no'? - - - -OSRIC -I mean, my lord, the opposition of your person in trial. - - - -HAMLET -Sir, I will walk here in the hall: if it please his -majesty, 'tis the breathing time of day with me; let -the foils be brought, the gentleman willing, and the -king hold his purpose, I will win for him an I can; -if not, I will gain nothing but my shame and the odd hits. - - - -OSRIC -Shall I re-deliver you e'en so? - - - -HAMLET -To this effect, sir; after what flourish your nature will. - - - -OSRIC -I commend my duty to your lordship. - - - -HAMLET -Yours, yours. -Exit OSRIC -He does well to commend it himself; there are no -tongues else for's turn. - - - -HORATIO -This lapwing runs away with the shell on his head. - - - -HAMLET -He did comply with his dug, before he sucked it. -Thus has he--and many more of the same bevy that I -know the dressy age dotes on--only got the tune of -the time and outward habit of encounter; a kind of -yesty collection, which carries them through and -through the most fond and winnowed opinions; and do -but blow them to their trial, the bubbles are out. - - -Enter a Lord - - -Lord -My lord, his majesty commended him to you by young -Osric, who brings back to him that you attend him in -the hall: he sends to know if your pleasure hold to -play with Laertes, or that you will take longer time. - - - -HAMLET -I am constant to my purpose; they follow the king's -pleasure: if his fitness speaks, mine is ready; now -or whensoever, provided I be so able as now. - - - -Lord -The king and queen and all are coming down. - - - -HAMLET -In happy time. - - - -Lord -The queen desires you to use some gentle -entertainment to Laertes before you fall to play. - - - -HAMLET -She well instructs me. - - -Exit Lord - - -HORATIO -You will lose this wager, my lord. - - - -HAMLET -I do not think so: since he went into France, I -have been in continual practise: I shall win at the -odds. But thou wouldst not think how ill all's here -about my heart: but it is no matter. - - - -HORATIO -Nay, good my lord,-- - - - -HAMLET -It is but foolery; but it is such a kind of -gain-giving, as would perhaps trouble a woman. - - - -HORATIO -If your mind dislike any thing, obey it: I will -forestall their repair hither, and say you are not -fit. - - - -HAMLET -Not a whit, we defy augury: there's a special -providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, -'tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be -now; if it be not now, yet it will come: the -readiness is all: since no man has aught of what he -leaves, what is't to leave betimes? - - -Enter KING CLAUDIUS, QUEEN GERTRUDE, LAERTES, -Lords, OSRIC, and Attendants with foils, &c - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Come, Hamlet, come, and take this hand from me. - - -KING CLAUDIUS puts LAERTES' hand into HAMLET's - - -HAMLET -Give me your pardon, sir: I've done you wrong; -But pardon't, as you are a gentleman. -This presence knows, -And you must needs have heard, how I am punish'd -With sore distraction. What I have done, -That might your nature, honour and exception -Roughly awake, I here proclaim was madness. -Was't Hamlet wrong'd Laertes? Never Hamlet: -If Hamlet from himself be ta'en away, -And when he's not himself does wrong Laertes, -Then Hamlet does it not, Hamlet denies it. -Who does it, then? His madness: if't be so, -Hamlet is of the faction that is wrong'd; -His madness is poor Hamlet's enemy. -Sir, in this audience, -Let my disclaiming from a purposed evil -Free me so far in your most generous thoughts, -That I have shot mine arrow o'er the house, -And hurt my brother. - - - -LAERTES -I am satisfied in nature, -Whose motive, in this case, should stir me most -To my revenge: but in my terms of honour -I stand aloof; and will no reconcilement, -Till by some elder masters, of known honour, -I have a voice and precedent of peace, -To keep my name ungored. But till that time, -I do receive your offer'd love like love, -And will not wrong it. - - - -HAMLET -I embrace it freely; -And will this brother's wager frankly play. -Give us the foils. Come on. - - - -LAERTES -Come, one for me. - - - -HAMLET -I'll be your foil, Laertes: in mine ignorance -Your skill shall, like a star i' the darkest night, -Stick fiery off indeed. - - - -LAERTES -You mock me, sir. - - - -HAMLET -No, by this hand. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Give them the foils, young Osric. Cousin Hamlet, -You know the wager? - - - -HAMLET -Very well, my lord -Your grace hath laid the odds o' the weaker side. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -I do not fear it; I have seen you both: -But since he is better'd, we have therefore odds. - - - -LAERTES -This is too heavy, let me see another. - - - -HAMLET -This likes me well. These foils have all a length? - - -They prepare to play - - -OSRIC -Ay, my good lord. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Set me the stoops of wine upon that table. -If Hamlet give the first or second hit, -Or quit in answer of the third exchange, -Let all the battlements their ordnance fire: -The king shall drink to Hamlet's better breath; -And in the cup an union shall he throw, -Richer than that which four successive kings -In Denmark's crown have worn. Give me the cups; -And let the kettle to the trumpet speak, -The trumpet to the cannoneer without, -The cannons to the heavens, the heavens to earth, -'Now the king dunks to Hamlet.' Come, begin: -And you, the judges, bear a wary eye. - - - -HAMLET -Come on, sir. - - - -LAERTES -Come, my lord. - - -They play - - -HAMLET -One. - - - -LAERTES -No. - - - -HAMLET -Judgment. - - - -OSRIC -A hit, a very palpable hit. - - - -LAERTES -Well; again. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Stay; give me drink. Hamlet, this pearl is thine; -Here's to thy health. -Trumpets sound, and cannon shot off within -Give him the cup. - - - -HAMLET -I'll play this bout first; set it by awhile. Come. -They play -Another hit; what say you? - - - -LAERTES -A touch, a touch, I do confess. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Our son shall win. - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -He's fat, and scant of breath. -Here, Hamlet, take my napkin, rub thy brows; -The queen carouses to thy fortune, Hamlet. - - - -HAMLET -Good madam! - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Gertrude, do not drink. - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -I will, my lord; I pray you, pardon me. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Aside It is the poison'd cup: it is too late. - - - -HAMLET -I dare not drink yet, madam; by and by. - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -Come, let me wipe thy face. - - - -LAERTES -My lord, I'll hit him now. - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -I do not think't. - - - -LAERTES -Aside And yet 'tis almost 'gainst my conscience. - - - -HAMLET -Come, for the third, Laertes: you but dally; -I pray you, pass with your best violence; -I am afeard you make a wanton of me. - - - -LAERTES -Say you so? come on. - - -They play - - -OSRIC -Nothing, neither way. - - - -LAERTES -Have at you now! - - -LAERTES wounds HAMLET; then in scuffling, they -change rapiers, and HAMLET wounds LAERTES - - -KING CLAUDIUS -Part them; they are incensed. - - - -HAMLET -Nay, come, again. - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE falls - - -OSRIC -Look to the queen there, ho! - - - -HORATIO -They bleed on both sides. How is it, my lord? - - - -OSRIC -How is't, Laertes? - - - -LAERTES -Why, as a woodcock to mine own springe, Osric; -I am justly kill'd with mine own treachery. - - - -HAMLET -How does the queen? - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -She swounds to see them bleed. - - - -QUEEN GERTRUDE -No, no, the drink, the drink,--O my dear Hamlet,-- -The drink, the drink! I am poison'd. - - -Dies - - -HAMLET -O villany! Ho! let the door be lock'd: -Treachery! Seek it out. - - - -LAERTES -It is here, Hamlet: Hamlet, thou art slain; -No medicine in the world can do thee good; -In thee there is not half an hour of life; -The treacherous instrument is in thy hand, -Unbated and envenom'd: the foul practise -Hath turn'd itself on me lo, here I lie, -Never to rise again: thy mother's poison'd: -I can no more: the king, the king's to blame. - - - -HAMLET -The point!--envenom'd too! -Then, venom, to thy work. - - -Stabs KING CLAUDIUS - - -All -Treason! treason! - - - -KING CLAUDIUS -O, yet defend me, friends; I am but hurt. - - - -HAMLET -Here, thou incestuous, murderous, damned Dane, -Drink off this potion. Is thy union here? -Follow my mother. - - -KING CLAUDIUS dies - - -LAERTES -He is justly served; -It is a poison temper'd by himself. -Exchange forgiveness with me, noble Hamlet: -Mine and my father's death come not upon thee, -Nor thine on me. - - -Dies - - -HAMLET -Heaven make thee free of it! I follow thee. -I am dead, Horatio. Wretched queen, adieu! -You that look pale and tremble at this chance, -That are but mutes or audience to this act, -Had I but time--as this fell sergeant, death, -Is strict in his arrest--O, I could tell you-- -But let it be. Horatio, I am dead; -Thou livest; report me and my cause aright -To the unsatisfied. - - - -HORATIO -Never believe it: -I am more an antique Roman than a Dane: -Here's yet some liquor left. - - - -HAMLET -As thou'rt a man, -Give me the cup: let go; by heaven, I'll have't. -O good Horatio, what a wounded name, -Things standing thus unknown, shall live behind me! -If thou didst ever hold me in thy heart -Absent thee from felicity awhile, -And in this harsh world draw thy breath in pain, -To tell my story. -March afar off, and shot within -What warlike noise is this? - - - -OSRIC -Young Fortinbras, with conquest come from Poland, -To the ambassadors of England gives -This warlike volley. - - - -HAMLET -O, I die, Horatio; -The potent poison quite o'er-crows my spirit: -I cannot live to hear the news from England; -But I do prophesy the election lights -On Fortinbras: he has my dying voice; -So tell him, with the occurrents, more and less, -Which have solicited.
